RPM Spec Files for nodejs 0.9.5 and v8 on CentOS 5

Posted on by

The latest version of nodejs that I could find as an RPM for CentOS was 0.6.16, from http://patches.fedorapeople.org/oldnode/stable/. That’s the one that puppetlabs currently uses in their puppetlabs-nodejs module. There is, however, a nodejs 0.9.5 RPM in the Fedora Rawhide (19) repository. Below are some patches to that specfile, and the specfile for its v8 dependency, to get them to build on CentOS 6. You can also find the full specfiles on my github specfile repository. I had originally wanted to get them built on CentOS 5 as well, but after following the dependency tree from nodejs to http-parser to gyp, and then finding issues in the gyp source that are incompatible with CentOS 5′s python 2.4, I gave up on that target.

Puppet facter fact for all applied classes, returned as a CSV list

Posted on by

I’m unfortunatey stuck, at least for the time being, using flat-file manifests to configure my puppet nodes. Without an ENC, it’s pretty difficult to get a good ovewview of what classes are used on each node, and what nodes use a given class. I know I could write up a simple web tool to do this (unfortunately, given my limited Ruby knowledge, it would have to be in PHP or Perl, not a real modification to Dashboard in Ruby). But where to get the data from?

After some research, I found a puppet fact for puppet classes on Matthew Nicholson’s Coffee & Beer blog. It parses /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt and returns the list of classes found as a JSON array. Great base, but I wanted something easier, that would be more easily parsed from its direct storage in MySQL. My modification to his code is onlty a few characters; I dropped out the JSON require, and return the classes as a CSV list. This lets me to easy LIKE '%,classname,%' SELECTs in MySQL, and also gives me the fact value stored in the puppet DB, so I can build a separate tool around that data. Thanks, Matt.

        f = File.new(classes_txt)
        classes = Array.new()
        f.readlines.each do |line|
                line = line.chomp.to_s
                line = line.sub(" ","_")
                classes.push(line)
        end
        classes.delete("settings")
        classes.delete("#{hostname}")
        classes.delete("#{fqdn}")
        Facter.add("puppet_classes_csv") do
                setcode do
                        classes.join(",")
                end
        end
end

All of my facts are now available in a GitHub repository: https://github.com/jantman/puppet-facter-facts.
