Puppet users - Sep 2010 - Making edits to /etc/system on Solaris

Hi All

Just wondering what everyone else does when editing /etc/system on Solaris

It is on the Augeas To Do list (http://augeas.net/page/Augeas_on_Solaris) -
has anyone tried a lens for it? I tried to start but the file format is
almost free form and there would always be an exception causing the parse to
fail

So, apart from
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Simple_Text_Patterns, I
don''t
see any other solution

Thanks

John

I''ve basically ended up with one /etc/system to rule them all (and in
the
darkness bind them?).  Fortunately for me, my systems are large enough to
support this and there have been no conflicting requirements.  I''m sure
I''m
losing some tiny bit of performance and memory, but I really can''t work
up
enough  concern to do anything about it.

I may not go down that path, but you''ve triggered something in my head
- why
don''t I use concat file?
http://www.devco.net/archives/2010/03/12/puppet_concat_20100312.php

If there isn''t anything more elegant, I''ll use concat

Thanks for the different viewing angle :-)

Alternatively you could just use a template /etc/system where you put most of
the logic into the ERB by putting if defined entries in.
