ModuleSync Configs

Module sync configurations for Vox Pupuli Modules

How to use it

git clone https://github.com/voxpupuli/modulesync_config.git
cd modulesync_config
git checkout $(git tag --list | sort -V | tail -n1) # checkout latest tag
bundle install
bundle exec msync help update

Examples

module sync one specific module

bundle exec msync update -f {module_name} --message "modulesync $(git describe)"

module sync one module and review changes before submitting changes

bundle exec msync update -f {module_name} --noop
cd modules/{module_name}
# edit then git commit/push

Syncing all modules

This will sync everything in the managed_modules.yml.

bundle exec msync update --message "modulesync $(git describe)"

Now you can use hub to create pull requests.

./bin/create-pull-requests

You can now also create pull requests with modulesync directly:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=token
bundle exec msync update --message "modulesync $(git describe)" --pr --pr-labels modulesync --pr-title "modulesync $(git describe)"

Create a new module

It is possible to create a new module using msync. First add it to the list of modules in managed_modules.yml. If it's not in the voxpupuli namespace, be sure to include yours by using mynamespace/puppet-module. Then use an offline update to create the structure:

bundle exec msync update --offline -f puppet-mymodule

Now a new directory modules/mynamespace/puppet-mymodule will be created.

Initialize git and push it to your location:

cd modules/mynamespace/puppet-mymodule
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'Add module skeleton'
git remote add origin [email protected]:mynamespace/puppet-mymodule
git push origin HEAD -u

Now proceed with the regular module work, such as creating metadata.json and your manifests.

Clean up old mess before syncing

./bin/clean-git-checkouts

Get a list of open todos

We have a nice script to detect a bunch of maintenance jobs in our modules. For example wrong puppet version constraints or missing support for new operating systems:

bundle install --path --without development
export GITHUB_TOKEN=token
bundle exec bin/get_all_the_diffs

You can also pass DEBUG=true as an environment variable to the script. to get a bit more output.

Checking all module dependencies against the forge

Ideally speaking all modules are compatible with the latest forge releases. To do this manually is tedious so tools have been written.

First off all, make sure all modules are checked out and up to date. For example:

bundle exec msync update --noop -b update-dependencies

If you already have all checkouts, ./bin/clean-git-checkouts can also be used.

Now it's time to get a list

bundle exec rake metadata_deps

If you see puppetlabs/stdlib has made a new major release (we'll use 7.x in this example), you need to set the upper bound to 8.0.0:

./bin/bump-dependency-upper-bound puppetlabs/stdlib 8.0.0 modules/*/*/metadata.json

You can verify it worked by running rake metadata_deps again.

Of course this means nothing until you actually submit the change. To do this in bulk:

for module in modules/*/* ; do
  (
    cd $module
    if git diff --exit-code metadata.json ; then
      git commit -m 'Mark compatible with puppetlabs/stdlib 7.x' metadata.json
    fi
  )
done

Of course you can expand the loop with commands like git push origin HEAD -u and hub pull-request --no-edit to create bulk pull requests.

Tips for External Contributors

If you are used to a traditional GitHub Fork and PR model, then you may run into a couple of issues when using this repository.

Using Your Personal Repos

You may have a case where you work with different communities where they all name their modules puppet-<module_name>. Obviously, forking all of these and keeping track of them is extremely difficult, particularly when GitHub does not have the concept of subgroups.

In this case, we are going to assume that you have named your module <username>/pupmod-<author>-<module_name>.

If your username is gituser and the author of the module is voxpupuli, and the module name is firewalld then the full name would be gituser/pupmod-voxpupuli-firewalld.

NOTE: This is NOT required, but may be useful in the situation noted above.

To work with the forked module, you will need to do the following:

1. Add your forked module name to the managed_modules.yml file
2. Tell msync explicitly where to find your module
   • bundle exec msync -n <username> -f pupmod-<author>-<module_name> --noop

Contribution

We currently require all commits to be signed with GPG, so please configure your git client properly. Let us know if you need some help. We're also reachable via our IRC channel #voxpupuli on freenode.

If you provide a patch that effects our modules, please test it on a single module and link the pull request from that specific module to the PR on the modulesync_config repository.

Do a new release

• Update the version in moduleroot/.msync.yml.erb
• CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN='*your token*' bundle exec rake changelog
