Hi all,

I would like to provide installation and rollback for any module. Here are
was I've tried but not work,

At modules/katie/manifests/init.pp

class katie::add {
tag 'add'
user {'katie':
ensure => present,
}
}
class katie::remove {
tag 'remove'
user {'katie':
ensure => absent,
}
}

class katie {
  include katie::remove, katie::remove
}

test command,

[[email protected] ~]# puppet agent --test --tags add

[[email protected] ~]#

If this is not the way to go, is there any alternative to get the
install/rollback?

Thanks you,

    Hi Neanudorn

    Is very difficult... you could try but if you really want to do it properly
    is going to take you a lot of time for all the modules. The main problem I
    foresee is that adding things is easy, but removing them is hard as you
    need to identify each of the objects that were added. Ie when you install a
    package a lot of files and configurations are added, but when you remove it
    some configuration files are left in place. Additionally if your
    environment is virtualized then then why not to rebuild the instance with
    the new setup? That is way easier than introduce so much complexity in your
    manifests.

    Said that if you still want to go with that approach, I think the best way
    would be to use parametrized classes:

    Ie:

    class my_app (
       ensure = present
    ) {

       package {'my_package':
         ensure => $ensure,
       }

    }

    And then in the node declaration:

    node /my_node/ {

       class{'my_app':
         ensure => present
       }

    }

    You can then change the ensure parameter to remove that app...

    Hope it makes sense.

    Cheers

    Juan

    Hi,

    Alessandro's modules at http://github.com/example42 do install/rollback
    all the time.

    You might want to look at them how they do it.
