Hi again,
reading the documentation about custom function distribution
<http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules>, I
don''t
understand the following:
Normally custom per module facts, types, providers and functions are
distributed to the puppet hosts when they are in a the modules lib/
directory, like
/etc/puppet/modules/<modulename>/lib/{facter,puppet}.
This is also true form custom general facts, types and providers when
they are a ''custom''-module directory:
/etc/puppet/modules/custom/lib/.
But this does not hold for general custom functions!
Now my question is:
Why are general functions _not_ distributed by this mechanism, when I
put hem in /etc/puppet/modules/custom/lib/puppet/parser/functions/,
but per module functions are?
Is there a way to distribute these functions?
Thanks and bye,
Frederik

Hi Dan, sorry I have to correct myself. I don''t know why I did not have it working before or why I didnt get it, but now it seems to work: As far as I understand _all_ the providers/types/facts/functions in the $modulepath/<module>/lib/ directories of _all_ modules are loaded, ndepended whether the modules are used or not. Therefore it does work with the module named ''custom'', so the name is irrelevant. Only one open question remains: in which order are the $modulepath/<module>/lib/ directories loaded? If I imagine having identically called files in different modules? Which one will be the winner? Is is load alphanumerically sorted? Thanks anyway and bye, Frederik On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 5:48 AM, Dan Bode <dan@reductivelabs.com> wrote:> Hi Frederik, > > On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 4:13 AM, Frederik Wagner <fnerdwq@googlemail.com> > wrote: >> >> Hi again, >> >> reading the documentation about custom function distribution >> <http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules>, I don''t >> understand the following: >> >> Normally custom per module facts, types, providers and functions are >> distributed to the puppet hosts when they are in a the modules lib/ >> directory, like >> /etc/puppet/modules/<modulename>/lib/{facter,puppet}. >> >> This is also true form custom general facts, types and providers when >> they are a ''custom''-module directory: /etc/puppet/modules/custom/lib/. >> But this does not hold for general custom functions! > > what is this assumption based on? > >> >> Now my question is: >> Why are general functions _not_ distributed by this mechanism, when I >> put hem in /etc/puppet/modules/custom/lib/puppet/parser/functions/, > > they are distributed, ''custom'' here is just the name of the module. > >> >> but per module functions are? >> Is there a way to distribute these functions? >> >> >> Thanks and bye, >> Frederik >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "Puppet Users" group. >> To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
