Have you looked at the file() function? It's very similar to template, but without the templating. Unfortunately it's not quite consistent with the template function, but we are going to fix that. It takes absolute paths, not module-based. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4885 is the ticket to watch for us adding the "~" syntax and making the file/template functions consistent. > > Thanks! > > -a > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<puppet-users%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > -- Nigel Kersten Product Manager, Puppet Labs http://www.puppetlabs.com Twitter: @nigelkersten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
