You don't.  If you were willing to write a custom function or possibly to 
engage in some ruby-fu inan inline template then you could extract a list 
of the titles of all Things::Addthing resources declared to that point 
during catalog building, but that's not necessarily the same thing, as 
instances may have been declared elsewhere, too.

More generally, it is never a good idea for your manifests to rely on 
extracting data from the catalog under construction. The result of any such 
inquiry is necessarily dependent on the order in which Puppet evaluates 
your manifests, which is difficult to predict.  Instead, focus on data 
first, and code second.  For example, if you want a list of the 
Thing::Addthings, then *start* with that, and use it to make your 
declarations, instead of making your declarations and after the fact trying 
to determine what you declared (which in truth you already know anyway):

class my_service { 
  include ::things 
 
  $thinglist = [ 'first', 'second', 'third' ]
  
  things::addthing { $thinglist: } 
}

It's shorter, too.

[Puppet Users] issue svn with r10k stderr: svn: URL 'http://xxxx/puppet/environment/development/branches' non-existent in that revision

[Spriya]

Hi,

I am almost getting there implementing svn with r10k. I am stuck here. 
Anyone can you help me in this. I am having this error:

*Stderr:*
*svn: URL 
'http:///svn/puppet/puppetlabs/puppet/environment/development/branches' 
non-existent in that revision*
*Exit code: 1*

Here is my r10k.yaml

cat r10k.yaml
---
# This example configuration details the most commonly used configuration
# options for the `r10k deploy` command.
#

# The 'cachedir' setting controls where cached content, such as mirrored Git
# repositories, are stored on the local machine. This location should be
# persistent, as environments and modules may rely on these files in order 
to
# be updated.
#
# See 
https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k/blob/1.5.1/doc/git/cloning-and-mirroring.mkd

cachedir: '/var/cache/r10k'

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.  In particular, you assert that 
"in order to add an extra variable you will have to add it in all your 
module manifests," but that certainly is not true in an absolute sense.  
Nothing in Puppet prevents you from adding a class variable or even a class 
parameter (note: not quite the same thing) to just one class in your 
module.  It must therefore be that you have some functional or structural 
requirement that leads you to your conclusion, but that is opaque to me.

[Puppet Users] A case for git (SVN vs Git)

[Corey Osman]

I have been tasked with an assignment to come up with a document for non 
technical decision makers to “chose Git over SVN”, since non technical people 
view VCS is all the same. With regards to Puppet I think its a horrible idea to 
use SVN but how do we prove it for decision makers that have no reference?.   
If you have given this argument before or want to add your advice, opinion, 
reasons, stories, feel free to clone this repo and merge your input. Spencer 
Krum has agreed to put this document into an official puppet community repo 
https://github.com/puppet-community once the document reaches a good state.   
The idea here is if you encounter this situation in the future there will be a 
document to hand to somebody to say “Here read this”.  So if you like BeerOps, 
check this out (literally).

	Being somewhat in the middle of a similar conversation at $dayjob I 
believe it's a mistake to focus on the technology rather than the 
outcome. I would focus on workflow, integration, and tooling instead. 
Particularly the local branch per feature or ticket to review board to 
merge to release branch is flexible, powerful, and relatively easy to 
understand.

Remove. If you want to make this point run a benchmark and link it.

[Puppet Users] Re: [announce] puppetlabs-concat 2.0.x release deletion

[Bryan Jen]

 

FYI The puppetlabs-concat 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 releases have been deleted from 
the Forge. If you're using either of those versions, please downgrade to 
1.2.3 as soon as possible. We have also reverted the puppetlabs-concat 
github master to 1.2.3, if you would like to continue using 2.x or 
contribute to 2.x, there is a development branch named "2.0.x" to 
contribute to.
