Issue #5259 has been updated by eric sorenson.
Feel free to reject this if it's unrelated, but this came up on the mailing
list today - it would be great if, whatever the nomenclature ends up being (I
like "title"), the value is accessible as a local variable inside a resource.
I.e. this doesn't work, and it really ought to:
<div style="font-family:monospace; white-space:pre">
[e...@recury ~/sandbox/dotmac/puppet]% cat packages.pp
$installserver = "localhost"
package { [ 'glib2-2.24.1p2', 'gtar-1.23p1' ]:
provider => 'pkgdmg',
ensure => 'installed',
source =>
"http://${installserver}/openbsd/${operatingsystemrelease}/packages/${hardwaremodel}/<em>${title}</em>.dmg",
}
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPkgdmg: Executing '/usr/bin/curl -o
/tmp/gtar-1.23p1 -C - -k -s --url
http://localhost/openbsd/10.5.0/packages/i386/<em>.dmg</em>'
</div>
----------------------------------------
Bug #5259: Synonyms (title, namevar, name) make it confusing.

Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: consistency usability
Branch:
* If you're querying a resource, it's Someresource <| title == ... |>
* If you're writing a provider, it's called a 'namevar'
* If you're implementing a custom define, it's called $name.
This is confusing and could benefit from unification, even if it's a small step
such as unifying $name and title.
