Issue #18490 has been updated by Jeff McCune.
I believe the feature description is too prescriptive. I'm in agreement with Mike, the root problem at hand is not that Puppet complains about duplicate resources. There are actually duplicate resources. Even if they have the same properties, they are in fact two distinct resources intended to be used in two different modules. I'd like this feature request to be expanded to solve the real problem at hand, which is more about module re-use and composition and less about duplicate resource errors. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18490: Resources with the same properties and values should not conflict https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18490#change-81562 Author: Ryan Coleman Status: Investigating Priority: High Assignee: eric sorenson Category: Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: backlog Branch: It is not uncommon with the Forge to install and use two modules that express the same resource in two classes that you want to use together, resulting in a catalog compilation failure. For example, imagine two modules, for different reasons express a package resource for gcc, ensuring it is present. A user would need to modify one or both of the modules they've installed in order to move on. It would be lovely if two resources that express the same properties with the same values result in a compiled catalog with one instance of that resource managed. If a comprehensive solution is unrealistic, accomplishing this with the package & service resources alone would be absolutely killer. Please let me know if I can provide more background information on the problem and I apologize if this is a duplicate. I did attempt to find a similar ticket, but did not find one. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
