Hello, I am working on writing my first puppet module. I am pretty skilled
in writing complex shell (bash, ksh, sh) scripts so I have some questions
in general about writing a thorough puppet module.
I want to write a single puppet module to support installation,
configuration and service management of system audit (*auditd* *for example*)
on different operating systems. Specifically, Solaris 10 {x86|SPARC} and
CentOS {x86_64}.
I know that if I have a yum repo (for CentOS) and run the command *yum
update audit* it will then update all of the dependencies automatically.
So, my question is, do I need to provide syntax like the following:
package {'audit':
ensure => latest,
name => "${auditpkg}",
require => Package['audit-libs']
}
Or will the CentOS puppet agent node simply run the yum installation/update
automatically and update the *audit-libs* package; without any concerns?
Also, and this probably might not be appropriate for this particular
email/post, but I would like to know, since Solaris 10 does not work with
repositories (correct me if I am wrong); do I need to skip the idea of
writing this module in support of Solaris 10 (even though my workplace is
still using it). I am not looking for opinions on this matter, I am
looking to know if there is a way to get puppet to update Solaris 10
systems with puppet modules against software packages?
