This branch is intended as a portability fix. Some functionailty had
been inadvertently removed as unused, but testing revealed that it had a
purpose. Because the purpose was unclear, this commit restores the
functionality AND clarifies it in the script names and comments in
config_version.sh.
This commit updates the Puppetfile example module versions to list the
latest releases for the example modules as of 2019-07-10, and also
updates several files for style.
Standardizing on double-quotes in YAML due to:
1. Functional irrelevance between single vs. double quotes in our YAML
2. Prevalent use of double-quotes in Puppet documentation
3. Similar look-and-feel to other data serialization formats like JSON
This commit attempts to cleanup and modernize the comments in site.pp a
bit.
For one thing, I've updated the docs links to point to working URL's.
For another, I tried to reorganize, clarify, and deduplicate the comments.
The symlink served for a good discussion point around change impact, but
in the end having it makes for a more confusing experience overall both
to new users cloning the control-repo to get started and also to anyone
accustomed to "site". A new user won't miss "site". A symlink will muddy
the waters over the change for long-time users. Better for clarity to be
all-in and not include a symlink.
Prior to this commit, we placed modules local to a users installation
in the `site` directory. This was just a convention and the name
`site` doesn't clearly convey what it is for.
After this commit, we place modules local to a users installation in
the `site-modules` directory. This makes it more clear to users
that this is a directory that modules go i. When users start
with bolt they won't even know what a control-repo is and
renaming site to site-modules gives them a better idea of why
they should put their modules with tasks in them. Also see:

r10k generates a .r10k-deploy.json file since version 2.1.0 which was
released on October 28, 2015. New users of the control-repo are not
likely to have a so old version of r10k, so remove this dead code.
The appropriate ruby interpreter is determined by the config_version.sh
shell script which explicitely use it to start these ruby scripts.
Removing the execute bit ensure users will not run these script with the
wrong Ruby version.
- Fix shebang: `bash` is not always in `/bin/`, and since the script
does not have bashism, rely on `sh` which is always in `/bin/`;
- Use `/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby` if this file exist and is
executable, otherwise use `ruby` from $PATH;
- Use `code_manager_config_version.rb` if `.r10k-deploy.json` is found,
and `config_version.rb` in all other cases.
This commit moves the "where did all the previous code go" section to
the bottom as it's been a while since that change was made. Nowadays,
people new to Control Repositories will find this and won't understand
the reference as they never knew about previous versions.
Now the README starts right away with information on what this project
is and how to use it.
Also cleaned up some of the Markdown syntax to make it easier to read.
This is mainly a style and readability change.
Prior to this, on masters whose hostname is actually their FQDN, the
config_version script would show the entire FQDN. On nodes with really
longs FQDN's, it was not very nice to look at.
This takes the hostname of the master, splits it on dots (.) and takes
the first segment.
Now this: compile-master-02.int.lab.dmz.company-name.net-production-48fd18ab
Is this: compile-master-02-production-48fd18ab
Prior to this, the config_version.rb script (used for r10k) attempted to
use the system ruby to parse the script. This caused problems on Puppet
masters that don't have `ruby` in PATH.
This fixes that by hardcoding the puppet-agent's ruby in the shebang.
Prior to this, modules that were deployed with r10k into the ./modules
directory weren't being ignored by git.
When doing local development or testing, it's nice to be able to run
'r10k puppetfile install' to pull down modules from the Puppetfile.
After this commit, those modules won't be tracked by git.
This commit enables the control repo to use Hiera 5 environment-level
hiera hierarchy. This means adding a hiera.yaml to the repo, and moving
hieradata/ => data/.
We should do this to the control-repo template new customers base off of
because in a Hiera 5 world, the global hiera.yaml should be very minimal
(possibly even ONLY having the console level), and everything else
(nodes, common) belongs in the environment hiera.yaml.
This control-repo template is how people start using Puppet. It should
reflect using our most modern technologies.
