Normally /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests would contain the main entry
point 'site.pp'. These days though with, Exported Node Classification
(ie. the dashboard ENC) not everyone uses it and its now become
optional.
If you don't use an ENC, you can create a site.pp for example - and
include a bunch of node classifications:
node 'myfoonode.foo.com' {
include apache
}
Some people prefer this approach over using an ENC as it gives
benefits like: a) you can use a VCS b) you can comment sections within
a node definition. However its less desirable once your node
definitions get too unruly and you need something more programmatic
:-).
The 'site.pp' can even contain other Puppet top-level declarations if
you so desire. There is even the ability to store other 'pp' files in
'manifests' and import them from site.pp, however its best to stick to
creating things in classes where possible. There is a brief mention of
this here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#importing-manifests
But like it says, best to avoid 'import'. People keep talking about
removing it :-).
