Install Foreman

Install Foreman
	Foreman on Wheezy (not!)

Note

	Note
Preliminary ramblings: the Foreman repository doesn't serve to Wheezy. As you can see above, I rebuilt the packages for Wheezy, but they mostly contain just Ruby scripts, no binaries that may link to wrong libraries. And then still some packages fetch from the git repository, install Ruby gems, run Rake on the Foreman dirs. And the resulting packages (as well as those from the repo) still violate Lintian errors. Trivial violations, but also embedded javascript and execute permissions on images. Basically, there are .deb packages of Foreman, but they aren't up to Debian packaging standards. But the point here is to get a working system, not a secure or stable one. So when I ran into the problem that `libnet-ping-ruby` and `libnet-ping-ruby1.8` weren't available, I just included the Squeeze repositories anyway.

Add the repository to the puppet master
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list:
```
deb http://deb.rug.nl/pub/debian/wheezy foreman-stable main
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ squeeze stable
	  
```
(Have to add the repository keys of course.)
Install packages Foreman should pre-depend upon

apprentice@puppet:~$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

Note
Without this package, the sudo bundle install --path ./vendor/ that the Foreman postinstall does in its homedir, fails to build mkmf.
Install the Foreman package

apprentice@puppet:~$ sudo apt-get install foreman
Install some more Foreman packages

apprentice@puppet:~$ sudo apt-get install foreman-console foreman-libvirt foreman-pgsql foreman-proxy foreman-vmware
The installation fails on the postinst of foreman. Running the postinst with -x shows that the bundle update is failing. I had to do sudo apt-get remove ruby-activerecord-3.2, then it succeeded by hand:
apprentice@puppet:/var/lib/foreman: $sudo bundle update apprentice@puppet:/var/lib/foreman: $sudo bundle install --path ./vendor/ apprentice@puppet:/var/lib/foreman: $sudo apt-get install -f

	Note
	Without this package, the sudo bundle install --path ./vendor/ that the Foreman postinstall does in its homedir, fails to build `mkmf`.
