OK - I did work out that the "path" is optional if the file block "name"
is the same,
I'm not in agreement with the abbreviated source line though - I like my
files to be in the same basic tree as the target so I can find stuff and
naming is fully deterministic - force of habit but I like that habit(!).
I presume, if I really wanted to, I could implement a new "file" module
with a slightly different name to follow my preferred logic? I like the
puppet "outer skeleton" but I'm not digging the file handling...
I believe most people are bound to write this define sooner or later:
define my_file() {
file { "$name":
source => "puppet:///files/$name",
}
Ah - I like that...
It's a bit trickier to add support for all of file's options, but once
that's in, it's a huge advantage.
You should try and use modules, BTW. It saves pain down the road.
OK...
Cheers!
