Description

The current puppet_install distributor installs to whatever path the user specifies. If you are wanting to install to a puppet master you'd have to specify:

/etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/modules/

However when we delete the repository, the distributor cleanup logic only deletes:

/etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/modules

With the current implementation pulp cannot know to safely remove the MYENV directory. One solution would be to provide some option such that the user could just specify

/etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/

and pulp would automatically populate the modules under ./modules/. Then at delete time pulp could safely delete the MYENV directory.

This sounds good, but since we would be adding an option I need to switch it to be a story.

This isn't critical, but we currently have to carry a cronjob to work around this issue and would love to get rid of it.

There is some issue with the description. It says that you want to delete /etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/ and that it does delete /etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/. Did you mean /etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/modules/ instead?

Yes, updated the description to fix that. Good catch!

From my comment on the associated BZ, regarding the "modules" directory: "I imagine we'd add a setting called something like "create_modules_dir", that would have it create that directory during deployment, and clean it up on removal."

Adding such a setting could allow the distributor to preserve compatibility with existing behavior.

Is this description right? Would the install_path be set to /etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/modules/ or would it be /etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/modules/modulename/?

Actions #11

I think the install_path would be "/etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/"

Then there would be an additional option. It could be:

subdir = 'modules'

in which case pulp would create a subdirectory called "modules" and put stuff in that. It would allow the distributor to be the explicit owner of "/etc/puppet/environments/MYENV/", and thus delete it with confidence during cleanup.

+1 to the subdir option which would default to ''

I clarified the fourth bullet point. bmbouter may want to have a look, since I'm not sure if you had a different understanding of the behavior, or just described it in a way that read differently to me.

Add subdir option to puppet install distributor

Puppet master modules should be allowed to be installed in a MYENV/modules directory where deleting the puppet repo should remove the MYENV directory. This allows the user to specify a subdir in which modules could be installed.
