Puppet users - Jul 2012 - How to get puppetmaster's base directory into a variable ?

Dears all,

 I need set variable $puppet_base_dir on my prerequisites class with
confdir parameter value of puppetmaster. I need the variable to be
used as base directory path of a file named myfile, which it''s read it
in custom function. I''m trying to avoid absolute path
''/etc/pupet/
files/myfile'' , I want to get it from puppetmaster configuration so i
can do something like ${puppet_base_dir}/files/myfile .

 To do it, I create a custom function which have only one line of
code :

    puppet_dir = %x{puppet master --configprint confdir}.chomp

  I''m thinking might be a dumb solution.

  Is there a simple way to do it ?.

   Thanks in advanced.
   eduardo.

This will have the variable you are looking for.
