In the type reference (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ TypeReference), under the file resource, it says "As Puppet matures, it expected that the file resource will be used less and less to manage content, and instead native resources will be used to do so. If you find that you are often copying files in from a central location, rather than using native resources, please contact Reductive Labs and we can hopefully work with you to develop a native resource to support what you are doing." I thought there was previously even stronger wording that implied this would eventually go away (that stronger wording seems to have disappeared in the last few days, along with the TOC).
I'm finding the file type ideal for handling configuration files. I've got a set of MySQL slaves that receive their my.cnf file this way, and its templated to assign them all unique server-ids (required for MySQL replication). Re the comment above, is there a better way to get these configuration files on each host? What native resource would I use to accomplish this?
