=== Installing a library for scratchbox === | |||
In this use case, I installed the libhildon-fm-2 library for scratchbox which is accomplished by running this command on any slave (--yes to auto-confirm and --force-yes for the authentication prompts): | |||
/scratchbox/moz_scratchbox -p apt-get --yes --force-yes install libhildonfm2-dev | |||
NOTE: Since puppet runs as root and scratchbox does not allow that I had to use "su - cltbld -c <command>". | |||
NOTE2: Since we are running the command as another user we have to specify a "path" variable. | |||
Puppet verifies if a command has to be installed by checking if a file exists. To indicate this we add the variable "creates". | |||
To see the patch follow this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=405338&action=edit link] and you will see that: | |||
* We created a new package (extras.pp), added an "exec" type section to it and called this package from two of the classes (buildslave.pp & staging-buildslave.pp) that different slaves include. | |||

Passwords are stored in a hashed format alongside other user information. We do not put the hashes in a public location for hopefully obvious reasons - please make sure you don't do this by accident. | Passwords are stored in a hashed format alongside other user information.
