I concur with Peter. I also do have some modules with '-'. It's not a big deal 
if I have to rename them, but I bet it's much more frequent than variable 
names. I'm in favor of an instant removal of '-' in variable in 2.7 and a 
deprecation notice for class names.

Bug #10146: Puppet interpolates variables differently in 2.7.x
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10146

Author: Philip Gardner
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: language
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.5
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I'm not sure when this changed, but I recently upgraded from 2.6.7 to 2.7.5.

Given: file { "/usr/local/$lsbdistid-$architecture": ensure => directory }

In 2.6.7 the following would generate a directory name called 
"/usr/local/CentOS-x86_64":

However, in 2.7.5, this now creates a directory called "/usr/local/-x86_64"

If you escape the variables, the resource is created correctly, however this 
wasn't clear until I jumped on IRC.
