Hello puppet-users, I need to use puppet to install a slightly modified version of a package (modify a few lines in the scripts it installs), but I don't want to build my own version of the package and distribute it via a private package repository because this seems too heavyweight.
What's the common way to do this? I have a few things in mind: * Add separate file resources to overwrite the files I need to modify. Pro: easy to implement. Con: essentially fixes the "base" version of the package I'm using (won't merge with the updated package's changes in the same file) * Add an exec task to patch the files. Pro: seems like the right way. Con: how do I detect if the patch is already applied? (should I just force-reinstall the base package before patching?) -- Eugene Kirpichov http://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenekirpichov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
