    There's some changes coming to puppetlabs-lvm within the quarter. There will probably be a new release "soon".

    When writing a manifest can I do an if statement with `or`and 
    and
    chaining multiple conditions? Looking at https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_conditional.html#lang_condition_if but couldn't see a hint towards it

    Ah yes, I can. It says it right there
    Expressions, including arbitrarily nested 
    and
    and 
    or
    expressions

    Yes, just saw it when re-reading that section. It's a theme: reading something, not getting it, asking here, re-reading while waiting and finding a solution. Meh.

    Rubber 🦆 is a valid method for answering questions.

    also 
    puppet apply -e
    🙂

    puppet apply -e 'if true and true or false { notice(true) } else { notice(false) }'

    Can somebody help explain to me why the following code isn't working?
    Copy code
    class profile::stupid {
  if $facts['os']['family'] == 'Debian' {
    $source = 'puppet:///modules/systems_pe/QualysCloudAgent.deb'
  } else {
    $source = 'puppet:///modules/systems_pe/QualysCloudAgent.rpm'
  }

  file { '/tmp/qualys.deb':
    source => $source,
  }

  package { 'Qualys Cloud Security Agent':
    ensure   => installed,
    source   => '/tmp/qualys.deb',
    provider => 'dpkg',
  }
}

    does that file live in the files directory in your module, and is its permissions ok?
  • j
    does git store file permissions?
  • j
    also how would I do that on windows
  • c
    I would likely make it look a little more like this just for completeness sake:L
    Copy code
    class profile::stupid {
    if $facts['os']['family'] == 'Debian' {
      $source = 'puppet:///modules/systems_pe/QualysCloudAgent.deb'
    } else {
      $source = 'puppet:///modules/systems_pe/QualysCloudAgent.rpm'
    }

    file { '/tmp/qualys.deb':
      ensure => 'file',
      owner  => 'whoever',
      group  => 'whoever',
      mode   => '0644',
      source => $source,
    }

    package { 'Qualys Cloud Security Agent':
      ensure   => installed,
      source   => '/tmp/qualys.deb',
      provider => 'dpkg',
      require  => File['/tmp/qualys.deb'],
    }
  }

    when I was talking about permissions, I was talking about where the file lives on the Puppet server. Like if the owner was root:root, and the puppet user is trying to access it. Something like that
  • c
    But both package files need to live in 
    modules/systems_pe/files/
  • y
    git preserves UNIX file permissions, Windows does not. Usually, when I clone a repository that has elements composed on a Windows machine to a Linux box, those files are DOS formatted and have the execute bit set.
  • y
    Ownership is not preserved.
  • c
    I would also quietly wonder why these aren’t in a local Yum and Apt repo?
  • j
    I get so tired of re-answering the same basic questions every time
  • j
    customer doesn't have a nfs server or any other place to put things, happy?
  • v
    attitude is not necessary
  • c
    Ok, then. Figure it out for yourself. This is free support and you’re being a jerk

    like the “help” was all that useful

    I now feel a palpable and awkward silence...
