A close reading of the language guide[1] will reveal quite a few of these pitfalls; look especially for all the occurrences of the phrase "please note". The style guide[2] goes pretty far down this road too but (by design, I guess) is more pedagogic than normative. That is, it intentionally doesn't talk about when its guidelines should be violated :) [1] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html [2] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html - Eric Sorenson - N37 17.255 W121 55.738 - http://twitter.com/ahpook - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
