Puppet users - Dec 2012 - site.pp referring to other manifests without modules

Hi all,

I want to do some code reuse, and modules seem overkill. Is it possible to 
have something like this?

A file called myuser.pp
class myuser {
   user {...}
   file {...}
   ...
}

Then in site.pp have this:
node ''foo.example.com'' {
  include myuser
  .. other things ..
}

node ''bar.example.com'' {
  include myuser
  .. other things ..
}

When I try this, I get a class not found: myuser (HTTP/400) error. Is there 
a simpler way to do this?

R,
rahul

You want ''import''. Do note that it is fairly discouraged.

Modules really aren''t that much overkill, and will help clean things up
a bit. I''d really recommend using them over the
''import'' suggestion.

Just move this file to /etc/puppet/modules/myuser/init.pp

Then these ''include''s will automatically find the file
modules/myuser/init.pp and load it for you. That''s it!

I''m sorry, I made a typo here... the correct path
is /etc/puppet/modules/myuser/manifests/init.pp

I know it''s a fairly long path, but it''s still just one file.
Using
modules even for simple stuff is a good idea, in my opinion.
