Thank you to Daniel V. Klein, Michael Potter and Bas van der
Vlies for their replies.
I went for this approach:
promises.cf:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
body common control
{
bundlesequence =>
{
@(g.bundlesequence) ,
} ;
ignore_missing_inputs => "true" ;
inputs =>
{
"cfengine_stdlib.cf" ,
"common.cf" ,
@(g.inputs) ,
} ;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------
common.cf:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bundle common g
{
classes:
# definition of classes
vars:
dns::
"bundlesequence_dns"
comment => "bundlesequence for DNS servers" ,
slist =>
{
"dns" ,
} ;
"inputs_dns"
comment => "inputs for DNS servers" ,
slist =>
{
"dns.cf" ,
} ;
# add more classes here
any::
"bundlesequence"
comment => "bundlesequence" ,
policy => "ifdefined" ,
slist =>
{
"common_bundlesequences" ,
@(bundlesequence_dns) ,
# add more here
} ;
"inputs"
comment => "inputs" ,
policy => "ifdefined" ,
slist =>
{
"common_inputs.cf" ,
@(inputs_dns) ,
# add more here
} ;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------
