Not quite the same problem or solution, but we use basemodulepath to keep a 
common set of modules in a single environment. This also helps r10k do less 
work since it's not rolling out copies of the same module to multiple 
environments.

basemodulepath = /etc/puppet/r10k/common/modules

In practice this means that some environments drift over time, but only in 
modules with large amounts of configuration changes (MTA, httpd) and the 
environments which are principally about those modules' services.

Hi Patrick,

Without modifying r10k, you could generate the Puppetfile from data in
your database. Keeping the information in a file under revision control
buys you all the nice things related to using a VCS. What is the
motivation of using a database backend? I'm curious as to the problems
you encounter using the normal method of storing your Puppetfile in a
git repo.

Best regards,

[Puppet Users] r10k database backend

2016-01-25 Thread Patrick Lesher 
Has anyone thought about or tried to have r10k run against a mysql backend 
to populate at least the information the puppetfile gives?

Updating each puppetfile for a large number of “Environments” can be 
burdonsome when we have to update the version on a number of modules.  We 
already have all of our hiera data in a mysql backend and would like to try 
to simplify some processes.

Thanks,
Patrick
