Question: how do I get puppet 2.7.6 on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to stop downloading packages with every puppet run?
Obviously I'd be puppetizing the config files so this wouldn't be a huge big deal, but a daemon restart after every puppet run due to notify/subscribe involving the config file isn't optimal. My simple manifest is this: package { 'ntp-4.2.6p5/net/ntp': ensure => installed, provider => 'freebsd', } It does indeed install ntp: [root@cwlab-01 /var/db/pkg]# /usr/sbin/pkg_info -aoQ | grep ntp ntp-4.2.6p5:net/ntp But every single time I run "puppet apply --debug --verbose /tmp/ntp.pp", I get the following, indicating that the package is reinstalled: debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderFreebsd: Executing '/usr/sbin/pkg_info -aoQ' debug: Package: ntp-4.2.6p5/net/ntp: origin => {:port_category=>"net", :port_name=>"ntp"} debug: Package: ntp-4.2.6p5/net/ntp: source => #<URI::FTP:0x807f1f518 URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/%2Fpub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/> debug: Fetching INDEX: #<URI::FTP:0x807f1abf8 URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/INDEX.bz2> debug: Package: ntp-4.2.6p5/net/ntp: package_uri => #<URI::FTP:0x80b32c838 URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/All/ntp-4.2.6p5.tbz> debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderFreebsd: Executing '/usr/sbin/pkg_add -f ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/All/ntp-4.2.6p5.tbz' notice: /Stage[main]//Package[ntp-4.2.6p5/net/ntp]/ensure: created I get the same behaviour with other package names: ntp-4.2.6p5:/net/ntp */net/ntp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
