Hi everyone. I am trying to manage several different packages using
Puppet. For the sake of maintainability, each package is installed in
its own separate puppet directory. Each package would have a separate
install_package.pp script and corresponding folder in /etc/puppet/
files on the server:
/etc/puppet/files/foo/
etc/
root/
usr/local
/etc/puppet/files/bar/
etc/
var/lib
To avoid micromanaging, I would like to simply copy over the contents
of each folder to / on the client. While each package has directories
in common (/etc for example), all of the files in each package are
orthogonal and not shared between packages. For example, package foo
will be the only package that will ever install /etc/foo.conf.
Package bar will never manage it.
I have tried to do this using the Puppet config below, but it errors
out with the message below. Can any one tell me a simple solution
that does not involve micromanaging each unique file or subfolder?
Given the dynamic nature of the packages (new files are added/removed
constantly), this would add a good deal of unnecessary work.
"err: Could not retrieve catalog: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed

import "classes/install_foo.pp"
import "classes/install_bar.pp"
node 'standard.node.local' {
include install_foo
include install_bar
}

classes/install_foo.pp:
class install_foo {
file { "/":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
source => "puppet:///files/foo"
}
}
---
classes/install_bar.pp:
class install_bar {
file { "/":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
source => "puppet:///files/bar"
}
}
