I am trying to figure out the proper way to update/upgrade a deb package using puppet from a local source deb file. My current config looks like this...

class adobe-air-2-0-4 {

  file { "/opt/air-debs":
    ensure => directory
  }

  file { "/opt/air-debs/adobeair-2.0.4.deb":
    owner   => root,
    group   => root,
    mode    => 644,
    ensure  => present,
    source  => "puppet://puppet/adobe-air-2-0-4/adobeair-2.0.4.deb"
  }

  package { "adobeair":
    provider => dpkg,
    ensure => installed,
    source => "/opt/air-debs/adobeair-2.0.4.deb"
  }

}

I first copy the deb file down to the client machine and then use 'package' with the provider set to 'dpkg'. This works and I get the correct version installed.

My question is what is the proper way to update this package in the future. Can I simply change out the source file and puppet will know that it's a different version and update this package? How does puppet determine what version of a package it has installed versus the version of the source deb file?

I am pretty new to puppet, so if you have an suggestions for improvements to my existing config they are very much appreciated.

I have a web app running on http://domain.com and I just bought another domain http://domain2.com. Both domains are pointing to the same DNS servers and they are both pointing to the same IP address.

What is the best way or how should I setup my Apache config to get http://domain2.com/blah to point to http://domain.com ?

would be the same thing as

I have multiple web-apps running on a server using different technologies.

  • java
  • php (wordpress)
  • python (trac)

They are all front-ended with Apache 2.2. My question is does anyone know a good way to wrap all these web apps with a common template (header/footer).

I was looking into mod_layout, but the documentation is quite limited and I was unable to get even the simplest example to work.

I also looked at mod_include, but I'm not sure if that is a good idea.
