Puppet users - Mar 2007 - My updated remotefile

I recently update my remotefile definitions (others might have already done 
so or have been using a better one than mine).  I added an ensure parameter 
so I could do overrides using remotefile rather than the underlying file:

define remotefile($owner = root, $ignore = ".svn", $group = root,
$mode =
644, $source, $backup = false, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) {

    $realsource = $hostname ? {
        "henson" => "/var/lib/puppet/dist/$source",
        default => "puppet://puppet.stanford.edu/dist/$source"
    }

    file {
        $name:
            mode => $mode,
            owner => $owner,
            group => $group,
            backup => $backup,
            recurse => $recurse,
            ignore => ".svn",
            source => $realsource,
            ensure => $ensure
    }
}
