In regard to: Re: [Puppet Users] Dynamic Lookup of facter variable., Nigel...:
Facts were supposed to be able to be referenced as $factname without
throwing the deprecation warning in your release, it's been fixed in
later versions.
Are you saying that we do *not* need to reference facts as $::factname
in all our classes, not even in preparation for puppet 3.x? What if
we *are* referencing them that way, now?
There's no harm in going that extra mile and being explicit that
you're looking at a top scope variable fact, rather than a local
variable of the same name, so you can continue to reference them as
$::factname if you would like to do so.
Requiring that wasn't an original goal, as it was deemed too high a
cost for the most common case to force that rather ugly syntax on
everyone. It was a bug in the deprecation warning code.
Does that help?
It does help, thank you.
It's one of those things that I wish I had known before I spent hours
changing our modules in preparation for what I thought was going to
be a requirement for puppet 3.x, but better late than never. :-)
I appreciate the clarity you've provided on this.
