</div></div>Is the focus of the Puppet modules only stable releases with packages?<br></blockquote><div><br><div><br></div>We try to target puppet module master at upstream OpenStack master, but without CI/CD we fall behind. The missing piece is building packages and creating a local repo before doing the puppet run, which I'm working on slowly as I want a single system for both deb and rpm that doesn't make my eyes bleed. fpm and pleaserun are the two key tools here.<br>

Puppet + git based deploys would be honestly a really handy thing<br>
(especially as lots of people end up having custom fixes for their<br>
site). The lack of CM tools for git based deploys is I think one of the<br>
reasons we seen people using DevStack as a generic installer.<br>

you're going to install nova from source, maybe you also want libvirt from source to test a new feature,
then you want some of libvirt's deps and so on. Puppet isn't equipped to
deal with this effectively. It runs yum install x, and that brings in the dependencies.<br><br></div>It's much better to automate the package building process and install
everything using that single method.
