Paul,
Thanks for the tip regarding approaching the problem from a more
puppet-like declarative stance. I'm not really sure that it's possible
here, besides making a custom resource type as you mention.
The main hurdle that I see with any solution is that fundamentally
generate() / file() don't behave according to the normal dependence
rules that the rest of Puppet uses.
For instance, this would work perfectly fine:
@@ssh_authorized_key { "$n...@$domain":
source => "puppet://puppet/ssh/id_rsa.pub",
requires => User["$name"],
}
but attempting to jerry-rig the same behavior by reading in an
arbitrary file on the puppetmaster system will not work (without my
kluge approach). So, I guess barring a change in puppet to only fetch
function results when that resource is actually to be created (versus
when it is to be parsed), there's no alternative.
