puppetfilegen

A simple ruby script to generate a r10k puppet file based on a Puppet environment's currently installed modules.

Why do I want this?

Are you trying to bring r10k into your codebase? Are you afraid that one day someone will update a forge module and break your things? This script generates a Puppetfile that fixes your modules' versions where they currently are. This way it is easy to adopt r10k while maintaining tight control over your module versions.

How do I use this?

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dggreenbaum/puppetfilegen/master/puppetfilegen.rb
chmod +x puppetfilegen.rb
./puppetfilegen.rb > ~/Puppetfile

What if my modules are somewhere other than /etc/puppet?

You can tell the script where to look with the -p flag:

./puppetfilegen.rb -p /etc/puppet/environments/devel/ > ~/Puppetfile

This is also how you tell the script to read the modules of a directory environment.
