puppet-perlbrew's Issues

PERLBREW_ROOT configurable

The location/directory for the initialization of the perlbrew toolchain - the PERLBREW_ROOT should be configurable from parameters which are being passed to the class.

Perlbrew installation failure

Hello,

In my puppet node.pp file i have the following
class { 'perlbrew': }
perlbrew::build { "5.18.1":
version => "perl-5.18.1",
}

I see the below information when i run vagrant with --verbose --debug options set.

Debug: /Stage[main]/Perlbrew::Environment/Exec[perlbrew_init]/require: requires Group[perlbrew]
Debug: /Stage[main]/Perlbrew::Environment/Exec[perlbrew_init]/require: requires User[perlbrew]

I do not see the command to run perlbrew init being ran. This I believe is causing the following:
Error: /bin/sh -c 'umask 022; /usr/bin/env PERLBREW_ROOT=/usr/local/perlbrew /usr/local/bin/perlbrew install perl-5.18.1 --as 5.18.1 -Accflags=-fPIC -Dcccdlflags=-fPIC' returned 2 instead of one of [0]
Error: /Stage[main]//Node[puppet.mb.test.local]/Perlbrew::Build[5.18.1]/Exec[perlbrew_build_5.18.1]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: /bin/sh -c 'umask 022; /usr/bin/env PERLBREW_ROOT=/usr/local/perlbrew /usr/local/bin/perlbrew install perl-5.18.1 --as 5.18.1 -Accflags=-fPIC -Dcccdlflags=-fPIC' returned 2 instead of one of [0]

Any ideas on why i don't see the init command being executed?

perlbrew user/group configurable

The user and group for the perlbrew installation should be configurable. The class should be rewritten to a parameterized class with optional user/group.

If no user/group are provided the perlbrew installation should have a valid and sane default (tbd)

Module rewrite (Class/define/resources)

The module has some problems in terms of inheritance, dependencies. In order to make the module style guide conform - the module should be refactored.

The rewrite and future module structure has been documented in the wiki:

• Class Rewrite

Refactor to Puppet guidelines

The module should be refactored according to the recommendation to the Puppet standards as stated in Puppet style guide.

This will be approved using the tool puppet-lint.

Fix inherits/includes

The modules has problems to do things in the correct order.

A proper depencency chain for ressources is needed to make this module usable.

Multivendor/distribution/OS support

In order to make this module usable on different platforms with different OS and distributions support for them should be added.

Support is planned for:

• Debian / Ubuntu
• RHEL Linux 5/6

more support can be added at a later point.

Improvement of documentation

Every class in the module should have a valid documentation header which explains how to use the class properly.

The style of the header should be parseable by puppetdoc to generate usable output.

/usr/local/bin/perlbrew no such file or directory

first time using this module on a fresh install I get:

Error: /usr/bin/env: /usr/local/bin/perlbrew: No such file or directory

Running puppet again everything works. Which means it's a dependency order issue.

 exec {
    'perlbrew_init':
      command => "/bin/sh -c 'umask 022; /usr/bin/env PERLBREW_ROOT=${perlbrew::params::perlbrew_root} ${perlbrew::params::perlbrew_bin} init'",
      creates => "${perlbrew::params::perlbrew_root}/perls",
      user    => 'perlbrew',
      group   => 'perlbrew',
      require => [ Group['perlbrew'], User['perlbrew'] ],
  }

The require should also have

File[$perlbrew::params::perlbrew_bin]

as part of the array. Puppet is pretty dumb sometimes. To reproduce:

node 'mah.cool.host' {
  class {'perlbrew':}
  perlbrew::build {"5.18.2":
    version => "5.18.2",
  }
}

Include Puppet Modulefile

The module should include a valid Modulefile to be included in an official repo at a later point of time.

Setup test matrix for travis-ci

Right now not all ruby versions/puppet versions are tested properly. A test matrix should be introduced to test the OS related ruby/puppet versions.
