[Puppet Users] puppet client

Just use the RedHat packages
We use the same packages for RedHat, CentOS, and Oracle EL

Some modules need to get slightly modified to recognize Oracle EL

Good morning!

What are the relevant client rpms and
URL for puppet client install to Oracle UEK Linux?

I'm sitting at, in a browser:
  http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/5Client/products/x86_64

Also, can you speak more to:


Thankyou.

I assume it is just the version of puppet client which matches the master's
own client and server which is 3.2.1.

I.e.

     puppet-3.2.1-1.el5.noarch.rpm

facter as well

Any others for an Oracle UEK client?

Follow the instructions for RedHat. It is the same. Just match el5 or el6
If you do it via yum, I think it will auto install all the dependencies.
puppet, facter, augeas, hiera, ruby-shadow
Been using enterprise so not sure if there is anything else for community version or 3.x. Still on 2.7

As far as the module modifications:
Some modules have conditions to do different things depending on what OS (dir paths, file names, etc.). Many times Oracle EL is not in the condition set. Usually just needs to be added to the same condition that handle RedHat. Be aware the Oracle EL reports itself with different names depending on what version you are running.

I'm just placing all the rpm's at the el5 and el6 directories at puppetlabs locally,
doing a createrepo for each and then using those as the local yum sources.

For one-offs that require twiddling/tweaking, I'll deal with them as they come up
post-deployment or in-production already.

Can't save everything.
