Darwin/osx support about puppet-jenkins HOT 4 CLOSED

First question: Where do you get the DMG?

If you can find an automated way to get it, I'd see about adding it as a pull request to the puppetlabs/java module - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-java

2nd: you're going to have failures from package ( $java_package:... } commented out, because of the chain at the end.

1. How about taking the current slave module, and using that to add the support? The trivial case would be to have a OSFamily IF in the module. not sure if it'd be better to use classes underneath, but it might get too messy. Have to go look at the init scripts, anyways, from #65
2. You may want to base the work off the current manifest, which is much more conducive to this. (it can not install java, which would mean that you could manage java outside the module, for one thing..)

@matthewbarr You responded quite quickly! I asked @b2jrock to open this up for us to discuss. I'm not currently in possession of a modern enough Mac to test any of this stuff, but I think making Darwin slave support work is a worthwhile effort :)

I am in possession of a new mac, but this code needs to be integrated into our code base, first.

I've run the slave on a mac about a year ago, and it works w/o issue. I didn't bother getting the launchd scripts for it written, though..

osx slave support was merged as #351.
