Hi,
I would like to use a define for files, for example:
define afile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode, $src, $backup = false,
$recurse = false) {
file {"$name":
recurse => $recurse,
mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group,
backup => $backup,
sourceselect => first,
source => [
"puppet://$servername/$modulename/$factA/$src",
"puppet://$servername/$modulename/$factB/$src",
]
}
}
However, I cant use it as I dont have the $modulename as a variable.
1. how hard would it be to have the relevant module name as a variable
(instead of putting in the top of each module
$modulename=''name'').
2. is there any other/better way to handle it?
Thanks,
Ohad

Either way, it wouldn''t be all that much work, but it might require a bit of trickery.

Well, I would like to use the one which is being called from, i.e. that whenever i use the afile define it will fetch the file from the right module. I''m willing to try to implement it, if you can give me some hints :) Thanks, Ohad On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 9:47 AM, Luke Kanies <luke@madstop.com> wrote:> > On May 29, 2008, at 8:35 PM, Ohad Levy wrote: > > > However, I cant use it as I dont have the $modulename as a variable. > > 1. how hard would it be to have the relevant module name as a > > variable (instead of putting in the top of each module > > $modulename=''name''). > > 2. is there any other/better way to handle it? > > > Would you want $modulename to refer to the module in which ''afile'' is > defined, or in which it''s used? > > Either way, it wouldn''t be all that much work, but it might require a > bit of trickery.

I guess that you could look at the ast/ definition.rb file, and see whether just setting $modulename to the first field in the ''classname'' variable works. This would be slightly hackish, in that classes named ''one::two'' or even just ''one'' would get their modulename set to ''one'', even if they aren''t in a module, but it''s certainly the easiest solution. Other than that, you''d need to find some way to connect the parser, modules, and I guess the same AST files. -- SCSI is *not* magic.

I haven''t attempted to maintain documentation on the internals for a while. I guess it might help a bit to look through the rdocs: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/apidocs/ But no guarantees that''s of any use. -- A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them. -- P.
