Puppet users - Sep 2009 - push a directory of files as part of a manifest?

Hi All,

I get the feeling I''m being really dumb here but hey, if you
don''t ask... ;)

I''m setting up a puppet install for about 80 or so servers and taking a
"softly softly" approach by starting with Syslog-ng and stunnel
configs.

I want to push out a directory of files to /etc/stunnel that includes 
the config and pems for each client.  Is it posible to push an entire 
directory, or do I have to specify each file (as I''m currently doing in
my dev environment!)?

Thanks in advance,

M.

Have a look at the "recurse" attribute.

I knew it had to be possible!

So if I set the manifest as follows:

file{ "/path/to/dir":
	source=>"/path/to/source/dir"
	recurse=>true
	...
}

then it should work?

Thanks,

M.

Yep. Note that if you want to get rid of files in that location that
aren''t in the source, you''ll need to add purge => true.
