In this module, if you use the following orginization puppet will
autoload everything:
manifests/init.pp contains class apache { }
manifests/disable.pp contains class apache::disable inherits
apache {}
manifests/virtualhost.pp contains define apache::virtualhost(){}
Really? Are you serious???. Why is puppet dictating to me that it
will
only autoload classes if I have a class named module::disable,
module::virtualhost? Who's idea was that and why? This seems awfully
arbitrary.
on what other basis should puppet then autoload classes/defines?
Let me try this again.
Your saying that unless my module contains a class specifically called
$module::disable.pp (and therefore a filed called 'disable.pp' in
manifests), then puppet will not autoload anything? I just got it to
work without such a class in a module. All I had to do was throw a
bunch of files in $module/manifests/, include $module::something and
it worked.
Where is this documented?
Just to be more clear:
Nowhere does Puppet require that you have those files specifically.
However, *if* you want Puppet to autoload a class named
'$module::foo', then that class must either be in the module's init.pp
file or in a class named 'foo.pp' in that module's 'manifests'
directory.
There was clearly some confusion on specificity here - an example was
being used, but it wasn't meant to say that all classes had to look
like that.
