Modules order

Royee_Tager · October 29, 2014, 8:41am

Hello all,

I have 2 modules (local_repositroy & spacewalk) assigned to my hosts via
Foreman
I need the local_repositroy module to run before the spacewalk module so
that the hosts will be able to install spacewalk from the local_repository.
How can I make the local_repository module run before the spacewalk module?
I have tried to add to the local_repositroy module the following line:
Class['local_repository'] -> Class['spacewalk']

But for some reason it doesn't work:

Info: Applying configuration version '1414571186'

Hello.

It's rather simple. What you need is to call classes in correct order from
wrapper class.
It's described a lot of times for puppet.

Create a class which calls local repository class and then spacewalk class.
Ordering can be done using '->'.

So you would include wrapper class in foreman host configuration. And if
you need to override some variables in spacewalk or localrepository classes
you would need to define these variables in wrapper class configuration
(Like it's done in previous post). I suggest to use standard puppet
technique.

Thanks,
Mikhail.

Hello.

You have two options to solve your problem:

(Simple One) create a wrapper module which firstly adds repository and
then installs spacewalk.
(Not sure how hard One) insert local repository to spacewalk module.

For me I've solved such problem using this simple module:

define ubuntu-tools::packages {
if ! defined(Package[$name]) {
package { $name:
ensure => present,
}
}
}

define ubuntu-tools::absent {
if ! defined(Package[$name]) {
package { $name:
ensure => absent,
}
}
}

class ubuntu-tools (
$packages = [
'iftop',
'sysstat',
'iotop',
'vim',
'screen',
'curl',
],
$absent = [
'apparmor',
],
) {
apt::source { 'apt.XXXXX.XX':
location => 'http://apt.XXXXX.XX/',
release => 'precise',
include_deb => true,
include_src => false,
architecture => 'amd64',
repos => 'main',
key => 'XXXXXXXX',
key_source => 'http://apt.XXXXX.XX/apt.XXXXX.XX.pub',
} ->

ubuntu-tools::packages { $packages: }

ubuntu-tools::absent { $absent: }

}

Maybe this one will help you somehow.

Thanks,
Mikhail.

Hi,

The 2 modules have some class parameters and usually I use the smart class
parameter of the Foreman.
How do I tie it all together?

Hi Mikhail,

I don't understand how to write the wrapper module.
Attached is a ZIP file which contains the 2 modules (local_repository &
spacewalk)
How can I make the local_repository run before spacewalk? How will you
write the wrapper?

Thank you in advance,

Royee Tager

Don't use the smart class parameters of the 2 modules directly. Write a
third module that has the smart class parameters you want and passes them
to the 2 modules and define those in Foreman.
