I''m almost afraid to ask because this probably sticks out
like a sore thumb on the wiki somewhere, and I''m just not
seeing it.
But I have a bunch of files with the same owner/mode. Is
there a way to somehow collapse these, so that all I repeat
is the file name?
Example:
file {
"/opt/test/1":
owner => "jtan",
group => "jtan",
mode => "0600";
"/opt/test/2":
owner => "jtan",
group => "jtan",
mode => "0600";
"/opt/test/3":
owner => "jtan",
group => "jtan",
mode => "0600";
}
Thanks,
johnn
something like this seems correct:
file { [ "foo", "bar", "foobar" ]:
...

I added an example for custom defined types under ''Arrays'' on the Language Tutorial some time ago. I added another block for native types today based on this thread. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#arrays
Be mindful of setting mode in a default definition, the mode setting is pretty dumb at the moment and it''s easy to end up with a bunch of directories mode 644 if you aren''t paying attention to the scope you defined File in.

Grzegorz Marsza³ek wrote:> Other possibility: > > File { owner => "jtan", group => "jtan", mode => "0600" }Ah, actually, I may have to go this route after all. Because the sources of my files would each be different. The additional benefit of using this default is that it also sets the attributes for directories, and then I just have to override the modes with 755 (or of course, not even put the mode in the default, instead specifying it per resource). I always saw the "Resource Defaults" section on the page that Joshua just posted, and it never clicked as to what use I would put it to. Now of course it''s blindingly obvious :). Thanks all. johnn

Directories should automatically add execute bits for every read bit that exists. If you are ending up with directories that are readable but not executable, that''s a bug. -- One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory. -- Rita Mae Brown --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

Ok, I was wrong, I must have had something funky in my manifests. So when setting resource defaults (specifically for the ''file'' type), if the read-bit is enabled in defaults any resulting directory that inherits those defaults will get the execute bit as well. Where''s a good place to add that to the wiki? http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#resource-defaults or under the type reference for the file type?
