Hi all, I'm trying to find a better way to implement this, but I can't think of. I have a jdk module that requires to create a symlink to whatever version is the one installed. Say I install jdk-6u35, it will create something like /usr/java/jdk_1.6.35. I would like to create a symlink /usr/java/jdk whose target would be /usr/java/jdk_1.6.35.
The point here isn't to ask how to create the symlink - that's straightforward. I'm in a chicken-egg problem. I'm sure there's got a better and easier way to do this that I can't think of. I wrote a facter to report the jdk version running. Based on the string returned by the facter, it works great. However, I jdk is not installed, this facter returns nil - the catalog is compiled and the value was nil at compilation time - and the file resource, property target, fails. I bypass this with an if clause and everything runs fine because jdk is already there and the symlink will be created. I know I could tell my facter to return something else (actually I create a link to latest, and that works, but it's a poor's man solution). Have any you run into this situation? Any suggestion? Not convinced if facter is the way to go in this particular case. Thanks, -fred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
