Issue #1946 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Accepted to Duplicate

Martin, I'm closing in favor of #5158 where we're heading towards the larger 
goal of making template and file consistent, and to have the functionality 
you've requested here.
----------------------------------------
Feature #1946: let file() obtain file contents from fileserver and/or module 
space

Target version: Statler
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.5
Keywords: performance scaling
Branch: 


file() as it is requires an absolute pathname.

It would be nice if relative pathnames would be resolved relative to the root 
of the fileserver 'files' hierarchy, unless they start out with a module name, 
in which case the module space should be searched.

For instance

  file("etc/motd")       ==> puppet:///files/etc/motd
  files("motd/etc/motd") ==> .../modules/motd/files/etc/motd
