The use case i try to illustrate is when to declare some item (eq
mysqld service) with a default configuration that could be included on
every node (class stripdown in the example, for basenode), and still
be able to override this same item in some specific class (eg
mysql::server), to be included by specific nodes (eg myserver.local)
I illustrated this use case with the example below. But of course,
Puppet parsing fails because the Service[mysql] is included twice. And
of course, class mysql::server
Is there a way to override the Service["mysql"], or mark it as the
main one, or whatever ?
I was thinking about the virtual items and the realize function, but
it only permits apply an item multiple times, not to redefine or
override.
class stripdown {
service {"mysql": enable => "false", ensure => "stopped" }
}
class mysql::server {
service { mysqld:
enable => true,
ensure => running,
hasrestart => true,
hasstatus => true,
path => "/etc/init.d/mysql",
require => Package["mysql-server"],
}
}
node basenode {
include stripdown
}
node myserver.local inherits basenode {
include mysql::server # <- boom, fails here
because of Service["mysql"] redefinition
}
