Plugins » Katello

While installing Katello 2.0 in OracleLinux 6.5 x86_64 server, the installer "katello-installer" fails due to missing package rubygems-katello.

The reason for this issue is OracleLinux does not have an approved SCL respository, instead uses CentOS/RHEL based SCL yum repo. In the katello manifest, the repositories are set on the basis on operatingsystem fact (see the code snippet below)

In the project, https://github.com/Katello/puppet-katello following code,

if ($::operatingsystem  'RedHat' or $::operatingsystem  'CentOS'){
    $scl_prefix = 'ruby193-'
    $scl_root = '/opt/rh/ruby193/root'
  } else {
    $scl_prefix = ''
    $scl_root = ''
  }

Similar such references are present in few other manifests as well in this project. I have fixed this to include support for OracelLinux and awaiting acceptance on my pull request.

This change has been done for puppet-katello and puppet-katello_devel projects.
