Hi all,
I've been working an updated set of puppet modules to do the following things:
Install Foreman from Git
Install Proxy from Git
Setup DHCP in a proxy-friendly way
Setup DNS in a proxy-friendly way
These modules are now just about ready for someone else to test them,
so I thought I'd share with you 
First though, the disclaimers:
This is only even slightly likely to work on Debian, I've had no
chance to test on other OSes.
Several things are still broken - for example, the restarting of the
proxy doesn't work at the moment.
There's code duplication in a few places, due to Git needing things
done in a different order
If you want to give it a try, grab a clean OS, and run:
export MODULE_PATH="/etc/puppet/modules/common"
mkdir -p $MODULE_PATH
for mod in apache dhcp dns foreman foreman_proxy git passenger puppet
tftp xinetd; do
mkdir -p $MODULE_PATH/$mod
wget http://github.com/GregSutcliffe/puppet-$mod/tarball/master -O -
> tar xzvf - -C $MODULE_PATH/$mod --strip-components=1
done;
Then edit the foreman::params and foreman_proxy classes and set:
$source = 'git'
$dhcp = true
$dns = true
Finally, install it:
echo include puppet, puppet::server, foreman, foreman_proxy | puppet
鈥搈odulepath $MODULE_PATH
It'll probably break, but I really want feedback on this so we can
give people the git install option in an easy way. So, comments,
patches, or pullrequests are very welcome - Once I get it vaguely
stable, I'll put pullrequests in to the main foreman-* modules.
Cheers,
Greg
Hi,
i take a look at your module and i think its not the right way to install
latest foreman / proxy.
Maybe the better solution is to provide nightly builds for debian / redhat,
so the installer can be much simpler.

Some people will always want to install the latest Git version. This
is an attempt to cater to that need. I'm not suggesting removing
package support (if I had, it would have made writing the modules much
easier :P).
I'd love to see the nightlies updated, but as has been much discussed,
we have serious packaging issues with Bundler.

yes that is right, currently i am one of the people with git installs, but
is this really needed in the installer for the "normal" user??
i think the installer should as simple as possible so "normal" users can
install. The user who install via git (i assume they are user with more
knowledge) can use the description in the wiki.
I think the main question is which problem the installer should solve.
Don't get me wrong, i like the possibility to <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=_xpAA&search=possibility&trestr=0x8001>install foreman via git, but i also think the "normal" way should be rpm /
deb, and if the installer supports git , things gets to complicated.

thats also right but a different problem.
