Since you cannot include modules twice, or overwrite anything within a namespace, I'm looking for a way to organize my modules. I initially started to create the following structure, which will avoid storing redundant configuration in your manifests: node server01.ono.at { include servergroups::ono::webserver } node server02.ono.at { include servergroups::ono::webserver } node server03.ono.at { include servergroups::ono::webserver } node server04.ono.at { include servergroups::ono::mailserver } class servergroups::ono::server { include puppet::client include ssh::server include exim::minimal } class servergroups::ono::webserver inherits servergroups::ono::server { include apache ... } class servergroups::ono::mailserver inherits servergroups::ono::server { include exim::mx ... } But after having worked with this for a while now and putting more and more configuration into Puppet, I hit the point where all servers would want a certain service configuration (eg. a minimal exim configuration), *except* for one, the mail server, which wants to include a much more complex exim configuration.It looks to me like you should do something like: class exim::complex inherits exim::simple { ... } overriding ::simple resources appropriately and defining any required new resources, and then include exim::complex for that node, and exim::simple for every node?So I'd like to know how others worked around such limitations, whether there are any functions in Puppet I could use to work around this issue, or which other approaches I could take to reach the same goal - not having to create a second "servergroups::ono::server" class for just one server. -- Stefan Schlesinger ////////////////////////////////////////// /////// s...@ono.at +43.676.4911123 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
