OK, I''m trying to do something (apparently) stupid. Here''s
the relevant fragment of my manifest:
"/jumpstart/Begin/rootmirror.beg":
require => File["/jumpstart/Begin"],
content => template("jumpstart/standard.beg.erb");
"/jumpstart/Begin/standard.beg":
require => File["/jumpstart/Begin"],
content => template("jumpstart/standard.beg.erb");
So the key thing here is that I''ve got two different files, but
I''m using the same template for them. I had assumed that inside the
template I could access "name" or "path" to figure out what
the current resource was, and thereby choose the correct contents of the script.
Sadly, my introspection-fu seems to be lacking and I''m unable to figure
it out. Any help?

I created two sub-classes of jumpstart: jumpstart::mirrorroot and jumpstart::zfsroot, and each one just sets a variable ($target) and the uses the template. It''s incredibly stupid, but it works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

No need for subclassing here, just pass different parameters to your wrapping define. Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

That would undoubtedly have been a neater solution. I may well switch to using that. Thanks!
