Hi John,
This thing scaries me a bit.
I'm rewriting my modules in order to merge the usage of a params.pp class
where defaults are set and parametrized classes.
The output is something like :
class openssh (
[...]
$package = $openssh::params::package,
$service = $openssh::params::service,
$service_status = $openssh::params::service_status,
$process = $openssh::params::process,
$process_args = $openssh::params::process_args,
$config_dir = $openssh::params::config_dir,
$config_file = $openssh::params::config_file,
$config_file_mode = $openssh::params::config_file_mode,
$config_file_owner = $openssh::params::config_file_owner,
$config_file_group = $openssh::params::config_file_group,
$config_file_init = $openssh::params::config_file_init,
$pid_file = $openssh::params::pid_file,
$data_dir = $openssh::params::data_dir,
$log_dir = $openssh::params::log_dir,
$log_file = $openssh::params::log_file
) inherits openssh::params {
There is no particular interpolation on variables, just their value's
assignment as default.
Is this a supported behaviour that I can trust to be mantained on future
versions?
