John, I'm new to puppet and your mails confuse me a little bit... if parameterized classes are not recommended and you suggest when dealing with someone else parameterized class to set it through hiera (Puppet 3). Then I don't understand how to proceed with puppet 2 modules...
Should I hack every module I need to set the defaults inside the module? If this is the way, what if I need to reuse the module with different defaults? I thought a good module was a module I don't need to touch and I can set my defaults from my call, with this approach as soon I start using a module I'll likely not keep up to date with it, as it will have to deal with all the hacked code during upgrades. And if making a module, without using parameters, how I can reuse the module with different defaults ? Should I create a different params.pp for each scenario I need and then include it inheriting each one of the defaults, this would be a mess to deal with large arquitectures with many different types of nodes. I'm sorry to ask but since we started using puppet (a few months ago) we started doing everything with parameters as puppet docs said on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/parameterized_classes.html and since then we had no issue (yet) with it. And now you say that parameters are a sickness and should not be used. Then how on Puppet 2? And why it's still puppet docs still recommending it? Thanks in advance for your time!
