"which compiles the apache modules in the post installation scripts" Apache modules can easily be shipped as seperate packages (mod_python as an example) that contain loadable modules. (Forgive my ignorance, but is that not doable for passenger?) Anyway, from a best practices perspective, it would be better to do the rebuilds on your build server as James said. You don't want to be doing compilation on production servers, and you won't have very good granularity into what happens if something goes wrong. rpm %post sections of any sufficient complexity are to be avoided. --Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
