puppet-package-builder
Allow you to build a package (rpm/deb) from a standard Puppet module.
This script only works with new Puppet modules that contains the metadata.json file. Old modules that contains the Modulefile file will not work with this script.
Usage
usage: puppet-package-builder [-h] [-p PATH] [--prefix PREFIX]
[-t {deb,rpm,tar}] [-r REPO] [-d DEST]
This script allows you to automatically build packages from Puppet modules.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH, --path PATH The path of the module to build (default: current dir)
--prefix PREFIX The prefix given to your package (default: puppet-
mod-)
-t {deb,rpm,tar}, --type {deb,rpm,tar}
The type of package you want to create (deb, rpm, tar)
(default: rpm)
-r REPO, --repo REPO Select the repository to generate the rpm (default:
/etc/pkg_repos/puppet-mod)
-d DEST, --dest DEST The directory to install the puppet module (default:
/usr/share/puppet/modules-repo)
All the default parameters can be set on the script by editing the variables on the Configuration part.
Examples
How it works
The script will build your module with the puppet module build command.
Then fpm will build your package with all the available informations on the metadata.json file.
TODO
There is some issue that I need to correct :
- The dependencies doesn't work correctly, sometimes it's not written correctly on the metadata.json file
- Add a check for every values used from the metadata.json file (description, author etc...)
