(Ron - this is probably a question for puppet-users not puppet-devel :-)
You can't redefine hence the error. This applies to most things in puppet
(as it follows the functional language paradigm :-). Best thing is to think
about how you can re-factor the content differently to achieve your goal.
FYI. You could do something like this at top scope in your amanifest.pp:
if $hostname == "box1" {
do something
}
Which would achieve a similar result and avoid redefinition. If you had a
lot you could even use:
case $hostname {
"box1" : { do something }
"box2" : { do something else }
}
But some may argue that redefining like this is possibly bad form
(action-at-a-distance) :-).
Perhaps its best to explain what you are trying to achieve with the 2
manifest files?
ken.
