nesi/puppet-gold

A puppet module for installing GOLD

puppet-gold

=============

A Puppet module for installing the GOLD Accounting Software for HPC systems.

• http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/products/open-source/gold/

To install into puppet

Clone into your puppet configuration in your puppet/modules directory:

git clone git://github.com/nesi/puppet-gold.git gold

Or if you're managing your Puppet configuration with git, in your puppet directory:

	git submodule add git://github.com/nesi/puppet-gold.git modules/gold --init --recursive
	cd modules/gold
	git checkout master
	git pull
	cd ../..
	git commit -m "added gold submodule from https://github.com/nesi/puppet-gold"

It might seem bit excessive, but it will make sure the submodule isn't headless...
