I think that having two ways to do it is much, much worse than having one way to do it. I prefer the current model, and would love to eliminate the last `init.pp` magic, but even the "everything is `init.pp`" version with the old one discarded would be better. (Specifically, I think the current model has a lot less magic, and is much closer to the way Ruby does it, which is what we should shoot for. Especially because Ruby does it the way that most other, similar languages do it...) ---------------------------------------- Feature #2636: Improvement to module organization https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2636 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: modules Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.0 Keywords: Branch: hello, In the case where someone wants to create classes like this: apache apache::php apache::php::gd apache::php::mysql etc it would be nice if all php related classes was in one sub directory, currently that isn't possible without the help of import, it would be great if the above classes could be laid out like this in addition to the current behaviour: apache/manifests/php/init.pp <- apache::php apache/manifests/php/gd.pp <- apache::php::gd at present we would need to have apache/manifests/php.pp apache::php class in a different directory than the rest of the php stuff. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
