Hi - I think you'll have better luck using separate environments: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Using_Multiple_Environments I do this with several different environemnts, including dev, drunk, test, qa, prod, developer etc etc. [qa] manifest = /usr/share/puppet/qa/site.pp modulepath = /usr/share/puppet/qa/modules:/usr/share/puppet/trunk/modules This way, if the "stable" module is not found in qa (the one that I'm trying to QA), it defaults to using the module in trunk (my 90%-machines). When the module passes QA, I merge it to trunk and call it good. This way I don't have to go back and clean up.
