I haven't "announced" this yet, but I've alluded to it a bit. There are still quite a few pieces missing and maybe some changes to come, but it's at least fair game for testing. When adding the relevant patches, I hope I didn't mess up. I've tested my staging tree, but not the current master as it is. :P Long story short: include ::gluster::simple That's it, that's all. https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/examples/gluster-simple-example.pp More to come!
