Description

The docs suggest that installing in $confdir/modules is a good idea

See: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/cloud_pack_getting_started.html

I realize that it tells you to update your RUBYLIB, but… that’s kinda weak sauce.

This really should be a gem install.

I talked briefly with Michael about this, and he thought a gem install was a good idea.

Selena, do you want a gem because that’s how you installed Puppet itself?

If your target platform had native packages for Puppet and Cloud Provisioner that worked seamlessly, would you prefer those?

So… my answer is different for Mac OS X vs Linux.

For Linux – a native package is fine. For OS X, either a homebrew recipe or a gem is preferred. Downloading a .dmg or an installer package is a pain and wastes a lot of time.

I’m managing EC2 from two locations – my os x laptop, and also a puppetmaster in EC2.

(sorry I replied via email the first time… i’ve been trained by RT).
