Try

See http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10146
I don't know if that will fix your directories issue, but it can't hurt
and shouldn't break even if you downgrade I think.

Re: [Puppet Users] How To Expand an .erb Template Without Doing a Full Puppet Run?
On 15/09/11 04:24, Jon Forrest wrote:
In fact, this is only a special case of the more
general problem of getting access to any file generated
by a puppet run without actually putting the files
in the ultimate destination. In other words, it would
be like a --test run except files will be generated and
kept.
I have two ideas. The first is to introduce a preflight check run stage
which has a clone of whatever you use to generate the zonefile, but puts
it somewhere else and then does an exec with named-checkzone etc. If run
stage "main" depends on "preflight" that should do the right thing
assuming that failures of earlier run stages prevent execution of later
ones.
I'm not sure if that could lead to a race condition should someone
update the data between the preflight check and the main manifest run
though. Also you may find that your preflight stage requires things
which are in your main stage (installation of packages etc) which will
just get messy.
The other option which I think I prefer is to have puppet deploy your
zone files to a staging area, exec named-checkzone and whatever else you
want to do and then have an exec or similar which moves the staged
zonefiles into place on your nameserver. Make that exec depend on your
sanity checks and it will only run if the zonefiles check out OK.
You could even go so far as to stage your zonefiles into a git repo or
similar on your nameserver and end up with something like:
vcsrepo { "/staging/location":
# Set up git repo
}
file { "/staging/location/zone.a":
# whatever gets zone.a there
}
exec { "check /staging/location/zone.a":
command => "named-checkzone /staging/location/zone.a",
require =>
[File["/staging/location/zone.a"],Vcsrepo["/staging/location"]],
}
exec { "commit staged zonefiles",
command => "git commit ...",
require => Exec["check /staging/location/zone.a"],
# ...
}
exec { "deploy zonefiles to nameserver",
command => "tar cp . -C /staging/location | tar xp -C
/var/lib/named/zones",
require => Exec["commit staged zonefiles"],
notify => Service["named"],
}

How about
case $operatingsystem {
'centos': { $filesource = "/bar" }
default: { $filesource = "/foo" }
}
file { "name":
source => $filesource,
# ...

I can't help with the problem you're having, but would this do for your
random minute?
# Random minute between 10 past and 10 to the hour
$random_minute = fqdn_rand(40) + 10
cron { "foo":
command => "bar",
minute => $random_minute,
ensure => present,
}
fqdn_rand is described here:

Is this so bad? I would probably do something like:
$tarball_dir = "/usr/local/src"
$maven_version = "1.2.3"
file { "$tarball_dir/apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz":
source => "puppet:///..."
[..]
}
exec { "extract maven archive" :
command => "/usr/bin/tar xzf
$tarball_dir/apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz -C /usr/share/java",
require => File["$tarball_dir/apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz"]
}
Or somesuch and leave the tarball where it is.
If you want to prune old tarballs you could do something ugly like
exec { "cleanup old maven tarballs":
command => "/bin/find $tarball_dir -name
'apache-maven-*.tar.gz'|/bin/grep -v
apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz|/bin/xargs rm -f"
}
or do it the puppet way with a load of file { "foo": ensure => absent }
or have the first file be file { ".../apache-maven.tar.gz": source =>
"puppet:///.../apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz" } so that the filename is
invariant, but the contents get replaced with whichever version you pick. This
method has the advantage that you don't get a buildup of old tarballs on the
node.
You could even do
exec { "download and extract mvn" :
command => "/usr/bin/curl
http://foo/apache-maven-$maven_version.tar.gz|/usr/bin/tar xz -C
/usr/share/java",
creates => "[...]",
}
Many ways to crack this egg, and I'm sure people will suggest others.

I don't know about doing it via puppet - I suspect not without custom
Functions and/or outside help.
I assume you know about this:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/mass.html
and deem it not suitable.
