Re: [Puppet Users] Can I store RPM's on the Puppet Server to install on agents ?

I would not choose an Exec resource type as the method to install RPM packages from vendors, be it RPMs on a local filesystem or served by HTTPS-based repo. You can and have the ability to keep the OS Packages (RPM/DEB) on the PE host machine like you can store any files on the PE host. But I

Hello, I can not speak to whether or not changing the permissions to rwxr-xr-x without any adverse affects to the puppetserver process, but I think I spotted a possible solution. Does the file permissions show a period ( a dot . ) at the end of the permissions list, like this? # ls -l

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet agent installation error.

Re: [Puppet Users] Manage delivery and execution of RPMs not in YUM

Warron, Correct. Garret is right. It is not best to deliver RPMs as part of the payload-contents of the Puppet Module, and do not store RPMs in a git repo (or whatever version control system you might be using). Yes, "yum localinstall" exists and but RPMs are best delivered via the OS's native
