623845 - install build/tools with Puppet

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

As we focus more utility scripts in build/tools, we should have puppet capable of automatically putting a copy of the repository on systems and setting up the various scripts to run from the command line.

With a little caution, we can develop a nice suite of releng command-line stuff that's automatically installed Everywhere.

I don't think puppet on the clients should be doing an 'hg clone' for this purpose - it adds an additional dependency, and some unpredictability in terms of the version downloaded.  Rather, we should do the checkout on the puppet masters and copy it to slaves (.hg/ and all) with a recursive File resource.

I don't know of anyone who wanted this other than Dustin, who P5'ed this bug and unassigned himself.

It's simple enough to reopen or refile should we actually want it and have someone who is willing to do it.
