It is though a pattern thats used often and supported by file. config files can be very different, for example I have many different types of tomcat machines and their xml based configs vary massively, trying to build 1 template that builds all these diffeent types of files is very hard, unreadable and unmaintainable. Multiple files would be simpler ---------------------------------------- Feature #1818: Allow multiple sources for a template and only use the first template if it exists http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1818 Author: Henrik Pedersen Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.24.6 Keywords: Branch: Hi It would be useful to be able to specify multiple sources for a template, and only use the first template if it exists. Just like the syntax for 'source' where you can specify more sources for a file with the syntax : <pre> file { "/my/file": source => ["puppet://server/$hostname/file", ""puppet://server/defaultfile"] } </pre> Using a template it should be possible to use the same syntax <pre> file { "/my/file": source => 'content => [template("hosts/$hostname/hosts.erb"), template("hosts/hosts.erb")] } </pre> Currently puppet fails with an error of : err: Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find template /etc/puppet/templates/hosts/<hostname>/hosts.erb at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/hosts.pp:9 on node <full hostname> since it only tries to load the first template and fails when that is missing.
