Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Definitions in a external node classifier

Hi everybody

We would like to have the possibility to use definitions in an
external node classifier.
There is already a ticket about this with a possible solution:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2408 .

We are open for other solutions and your opinions about "naked
resources on site.pp level", so please give us some comments :)

regards
 raf

So to be clear, we''re talking about assigning resources in general, not
just
definitions.

The proposal is something like:

classes:
  common:
  apt:
resources:
  - "add local repo":
    type: "apt::repo"
    ensure: present
    content: "deb localrepo.magpie.lan/ubuntu lucid vendor"
  - "touch restart.txt":
    type: "exec"
    user: "root"
    command: "touch /var/www/rails/tmp/restart.txt"
    unless: "/var/www/rails/tmp/restart.txt"
    require:
      - file: "/var/www/"
      - file: "/var/www/rails"


There are a few related questions to consider.

Classes with parameters are much like resources at this level, and we
don''t
want to end up having them be significantly second-class with an ENC
compared to resources.

Should a parameterized class be expressed as:

classes:
  - common:
    param1: "value1"
    param2: "value2"

or:

resources:
  - common:
    type: class
    param1: "value1"
    param2: "value2"

?
