There are a bunch of workarounds for this though. A lot of the time you can get away with just a shell provider and type for manifest validation, as the client will get the right one synced down for use in actual resource application. I mean it's frustrating, but it's not impossible. I have enough of the types in my puppetmaster libdir to allow manifests to compile. It does mean you have to be careful when adding/removing parameters to your type though. -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
