Issue #4715 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
Rather than create a whole other define - why not pass a variable to the definition for the source of the file? ---------------------------------------- Feature #4715: Extending defines http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4715 Author: Nico Schottelius Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected version: Keywords: Branch: Hey devs, I have a define like this: <pre> define rvm::install() { $rvminstaller = "/home/$name/rvminstall" file { $rvminstaller: ensure => present, mode => 755, source => "puppet:///rvm/rvminstall", } exec { $rvminstaller: cwd => "/home/$name", creates => "/home/$name/.rvm", user => $name, } } </pre> Now I would like to write another define, that does almost exactly the same, but chooses a different source for the file. Currently I would need to copy and paste the define and change the source. If I could inherit the define, this would be way easier: <pre> define myrvm::install() inherits rvm::install { File[$rvminstaller] { source => "puppet:///myrvm/rvminstall", } } </pre> Would be handy to see this or another easy variant with code reuse in a future version.
