Thanks Aaron, Marc and Nan for your responses. All of your tips are very useful. I think Nan's suggestion nails it for me and helps clear up a misunderstanding I had about what could be overridden. I think the part of Nan's response that I like better than using the "collapsed" way of writing definitions and/or using resource defaults is it let's me construct the source attribute from the resource title (${name}) vs. having to specify the file path twice. I realize this is a little thing that is just a matter of taste so it is great to learn of the other options. Plus, I've had my eye on hiera for a while, this might be a good place to put it in practice.
Thanks again to everyone for their help. -- dNb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
