According to:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial
one can use the ''+>'' operator to add additional values to
a parameter.
In which cases does this actually work?
When i try to add the user www-data to the ssl-cert group:
user{"www-data":
groups +> "ssl-cert",
}
this does not work (.. Syntax error at ''+>''; expected
''}'' at...). All
examples in the docs add only other types to the ''require''
parameters
of types via this operator. Could it be that it does not work for all
parameters?
Or does the user-type do the "adding the user to the group" thing by
itself?
Thanks,
udo.

That behaviour is used in resource overrides (inheritance)
Given:
class x {
user { test: groups => blah }
}
Additional values can be added in an override class.
class y inherits x {
User[''test''] { groups +> blah2 }
}

AJ

Thanks for the clarifications.
I guess that making this operator a general one would be a huge
endeavor.
My initial wish, to add a user to a certain group would then be
possible, without having the user''s group specified elsewhere.
Lets suppose we have a user ''test'' which is a member of groups
''group1'', ''group2''. This is not defined by
puppet, but rather given by
the OS.
If I want to add the user ''test'' to ''group3''
I do need to:
1. find out in which groups it already is (''group1'',
''group2''). This
list could be different on different computers.
2. add the user to group3 like so:
user{"test":
groups => ["group1","group2","group3"],
}
Would it be feasable to have the ''+>'' operator do step 1,
then one
would need to have only:
user{"test":
groups +> "group3",
}
adding the user to group3 without loosing group1,group2
Would this be a feature request? I guess the functionality I propose
here is pretty unique to the user and group type.
Bye,
udo.

Udo, By default, users are added to the groups specified by the "groups" parameter in *addition* to any groups they may already be a part of. See the "membership" parameter under http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#id229 From an ideological perspective, though, you should probably *be* specifying those users and their full group membership in Puppet. --Paul On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:15 AM, udo waechter <udo.waechter@uni-osnabrueck.de> wrote:> Thanks for the clarifications. > I guess that making this operator a general one would be a huge endeavor. > > My initial wish, to add a user to a certain group would then be possible, > without having the user''s group specified elsewhere. > > Lets suppose we have a user ''test'' which is a member of groups ''group1'', > ''group2''.
