I have two puppet configurations, one for the office and one for production. We have some directories in common (both for files and for classes) using SVN externals. So the format is like: puppet-common * files * classes puppet-prod * files * files/common -> puppet-common/files * manifests * manifests/classes * manifests/common -> puppet-common/classes puppet-office * files * files/common -> puppet-common/files * manifests * manifests/classes * manifests/common -> puppet-common/classes However, I''m now running into a situation where I want to have a file installed in the home directory of a user created in one of the common classes. I can define the source to match the puppet URL of one of the servers, but I''d rather dynamically generate that so it works on both environments. How can I reference the puppetmaster dynamically from inside the manifests?

I believe you could just use puppet:///path/to/file URLs and have the puppet agent use whatever puppet master generated the catalog. But then, I didn''t really understand your situation nor problem, sorry. Regards, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

That did the trick perfectly. I thought you always had to specify the puppet server in the puppet URL, I didn''t realize you could leave that off and have it autodetected.
