I thought I had explained that: it seems to me that if I set $confdir=/etc/puppet/$environment in the config file then $config is now '/etc/puppet/development/puppet.conf', which is NOT the file which puppet read when it first started. I expect this to be a potential trap in waiting - what happens if I now HUP puppetd, which file will it read? > And really, that bug isn't much related, AFAICT ; the environment > should change if you change it in the configuration file. I'm trying to sidestep the effects of the bug. AIUI, the intended effect of setting $environment is that it adds (prefixes?) a bunch of important search paths with $confdir/$environment, but the bug means that this doesn't happen for all of those paths. So I thought that simply changing $confdir to reflect the environment would sidestep this, because all of those paths *will* be changed if I globally change $confdir. I'm a little nervous of the side effects, though. -- Bruce I see a mouse. Where? There, on the stair.
