Puppet Face for building useful partial catalogs and applying them
Version 0.0.1
The puppet-partial module is used to compile an existing puppet catalog and pull out the parts that belong in golden images.
It can also create a local repo of all packages + package deps that are needed to install a given catalog.
the face is called partial, and the action for golden images is image_build:
puppet partial image_build <nodename>
the action for building a repo is
puppet partial repo_build <role_name>
the action of listing packages managed by a catalog: puppet partial resource_list --resource package
the action of listing services managed by a catalog: puppet partial resource_list --resource service
You can use resource_list to list any type of Puppet resource.
where role name will set a fact 'role' => <role_name> that can be used to select which role to build for. To get the most out of this now, create a role that simply includes every profile, so that all packages are downloaded.
TODO: add support for a list of roles, so that we don't have to make an all role.
All the image_build action currently does is pull out resources of the type 'package' and 'yumrepo' and separate them with an anchor.
