If you want the same abilities that CSV has then this would be your YAML: sysadmin: y...@your.com nameservers: [1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5] just that simple, I think this is much clearer than CSV. If people really are attached to CSV i guess it would be pretty trivial to write a CSV backend for hiera but in the past one of the big complaints I had about extlookup was CSV files. When extlookup was written puppet did not have hashes and so CSV was a perfect fit, now though it does and CSV just cant store all the kinds of data we needed so rather than provide a crippled CSV implementation I decided to skip it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
