Hey Fellows,
What an interesting discussion. Have you guys ever seen Example42's
Apache Module?
http://www.example42.com/puppet/browsemodules.php
It is an an excellent model of what everyone is talking about.
I always import my defines/ and classes subdirectories with the
following in my module's init.pp:
#apache class init.pp
import "defines/*.pp"
import "classes/*.pp"
class apache {
#stub code
}
The one caveat, is that your defines/ and classes/ subdirectories will
have to have a "naked" .pp file in both directories,
or puppet will error out. You could also comment out the imports, but
it is up to your preference.
I handle it by starting with a puppet_module SKEL directory, and it
has a defines/BLANK.pp and a classes/BLANK.pp
file in each subdirectory.
Have a great July 5th!
-Tom
