Hi, I'm quite new to Puppet.. I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding the best way to manage a temporary requirement within Puppet?
The scenario is, every server in our estate of Debian machines requires some monitoring software which is not provided as a Debian package. So we have a Puppet class, monitor::install which we include to distribute the src code and do an unattended configure, make & make install. Obviously this requires the "make" & "gcc" packages. But, as standard, we do not want these packages to be installed any of the machines during normal operation once the install has taken place. How do people generally manage such transient requirements? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
