OK, I got this to work. Not that I am fond of this kind of chicanery
when creating lists from lists, e.g.:
list1 slist => { "a", "b", "c" }
list2 slist => { "Say hello to letter $(list1) } ;
and expanding lists in templates will do, but that's how it is, I guess.
Anyway, as Neil anticipated, my ntp bundle in ntp.cf is getting bigger
and bigger, so I decided to split it in manageable chunks using methods.
To my surprise, the sub-bundles lost visibility of the variables in the
ntp bundle, even if fully qualified. This means that:
1) if previously the variable $(ntp.role) was correctly expanded in the
template, now it's not (and I get a $(ntp.role) in its place)
2) if a variable was defined with a default value and policy => "free",
and I try to redefine it in a sub-bundle (e.g.: $(ntp.role) string =>
"client"), the default value is expanded nonetheless. cfengine seems
also quite confused, as it throws messages where the context is expanded
twice like in:
> Function "join" was promised a list called "ntp.ntp.peerlist" but this was
> not (yet) found
Is this behaviour expected?
I would like to avoid to pass a big bunch of variables through the whole
chain (it's 11 variables currently), but I don't seem I can find a
proper way to do that. I also would like to avoid repeating the same
pieces of codes over and over because it would become a maintenance
nightmare...
Thanks
Ciao
