I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday.
Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string
comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your
operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or
''debian'', it
is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you
can still do comparisons
like this:
case $operatingsystem {
solaris: { ... }
debian: { ... }
}
You can make Puppet case-sensitive by setting --casesensitive to true
(or add it to the puppetmasterd.conf file).
With case-insensitivity, you should not experience any difference in
behaviour, since Puppet''s only text comparison mechanisms are case
statements and the trinary-like selector. This also means you can
directly use fact data in places where case matters like ssh keys.
Cheers,
Luke

Q. Does Usenet help stamp out ignorance?
A. That depends on whether by "stamp out" you mean
"eliminate" or
"reproduce rapidly in great quantity."

i am not 100% sure but it seems that
$xxx ? {
}
and case {
}
does not behave the same way as for case sensitiveness ? The first seems case
sensitive and not the second, am i
missleaded ?

But I never did anything illegal with my computer, so I didn''t speak up. Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn''t speak up. Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn''t speak up. Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway, so I didn''t speak up. Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left to speak up. -- Alara Rogers, Aleph Press --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com
