Puppet users - Jan 2012 - I think I have a stray directory on my PuppetMaster

Can anyone offer a reason for having a folder with a path of
/etc/puppet/modules/manifest ?

I think I got overzealous making
/etc/puppet/modules/<module-name>/manifest directories, but I am still new
enough to Puppet to be unsure -- and I am smart enough NOT to just delete it
without checking with a reference or a more knowledgable person.

Thanks, folks.

The directory that probably represents is /etc/puppet/manifests (with an
"s")... however, not seeing your puppet installation, there is a
chance
that it could be "needed" for something. The best bet is probably to
(temporarily) move it out of the way and see if things start complaining
(puppet agent --test) or break.

Thanks for responding.
My brain must have an excess of fuzz to not remember that method.
The old "Make the Change and See If It Breaks" technique !  :)

However, your observation of "manifest"/"manifests" was on
target.  My stray directory has a final s, and to my delight, removing it had no
(negative) effect on the running of Puppet.  The directory was empty to begin
with, so I was reasonably confident it was an unneeded extra.

Thanks.
