Puppet - Purpose of package_repo variable in manifests/nodes/base.pp
Hi,
What is the purpose of the package_repo variable defined in the base.pp
manifest? It seems from the older revisions this was supposed to be a file
server of some sort which serves the needed packs such as JDK, Tomcat,
Cartridge Agent etc. However, with Puppet's own `files` folder, do we need
to keep this variable?

Hi,
We were hoping to introduce it in future. So ignore it for the time being.

Hi Udara,
Was this an older feature before Puppet's files folder was introduced or is
it something that we are hoping to introduce in the future?

Hi Chamila,
It was introduced to host all packages (LB zip file, Active MQ jars ) in
one place and puppet to fetch them from that location. We have those packs
inside "files" folder in LB, ActiveMQ etc.
However it is not used yet.

Yes as I can recall package_repo refers to a web server which hosts binary
packages. May be this is not needed now as we are storing packages in
puppet master itself.
Thanks
