/usr/local under High Sierra

[tkriener]

Hello,

under High Sierra the ownership and permissions of /usr/local cannot be changed. Homebrew already fixed it by just checking and modifying folders under /usr/local, with the directory itself. See also https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/3228

I removed /usr/local from $brew_folders in manifests/install.pp. This seems to fix it.

Hi @tkriener,

This should have been fixed a while ago. We don't modify/manage /usr/local anymore, we specify subfolders to overcome the High Sierra permissions.

Can you link me to the specific line where it breaks?

I got the following messages using the module without removing /usr/local from install.pp

I don't know if it makes a difference, but homebrew was already installed before.

It shouldn't. Are you using latest? Can you try using latest master from this repo? I'm not sure the latest release on puppetforge is fully updated. This shouldn't happen anymore since December.

I used "puppet module install thekevjames-homebrew" to install the module.

And you are right, my install.pp is looking different from the on in the master-branch.

The one I have is the one from version 1.7.1: https://github.com/TheKevJames/puppet-homebrew/blob/e09557c9336d806b252a649ef56633aa5f7c241c/manifests/install.pp

Are you already planning a new version?

[jordigg]

Yes we should. @TheKevJames should be able to help here.

[TheKevJames]

Ah! Totally my bad, I see that the /usr/local fix is unreleased (as is the multi-user option...). I will look into releasing a v1.8.0 today.

[TheKevJames]

Hey guys, sorry for the delay on this. Version 1.8.0 including a /usr/local fix is now on puppet forge.
