Description

When you pass —destdir into install.rb, it still installs the config files in /etc/puppet, no matter what destdir is set to.

This works for me using 2.7.6rc1. Make sure to specify ‘=’ between the option and value, otherwise it won’t work.

$ ./install.rb --destdir=/Users/josh/tmp/mypuppet
conf/auth.conf -> /Users/josh/tmp/mypuppet/etc/puppet/auth.conf
chmod 0644 /Users/josh/tmp/mypuppet/etc/puppet/auth.conf

Hrm.

We’ve still got a problem with MacPorts trying to use this:

--->  Staging puppet into destroot
Warning: violation by /etc
Warning: puppet violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!
--->  Installing puppet @2.7.6rc1_0
--->  Activating puppet @2.7.6rc1_0
--->  Cleaning puppet

destroot.cmd        ${prefix}/bin/ruby ${worksrcpath}/install.rb \
                    --destdir=${destroot}

There’s some other interaction going on. I’ll test it more today.

Updating with notes from nigel:

There's a bug blocking MacPorts.

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/29676

if we get this fixed, would could update MacPorts as well for each release. It's actually really easy.
You basically submit a diff like this:
