Consider this code (which works - I'll be damned):
class a { notify { "a included": } }
class b { notify { "b included": } }
class c { notify { "c included": } }
class include_it {
define includer($exclude=false) {
if !$exclude {
include $name
}
}
includer { [ "a", "b", "c" ]: }
class no_a inherits include_it {
Includer["a"] { exclude => true }
}
class no_b inherits include_it {
Includer["b"] { exclude => true }
}
class no_c inherits include_it {
Includer["c"] { exclude => true }
}
}
include include_it
include include_it::no_a
include include_it::no_c
In order to get rid of any include, you include the respective
excluder-subclass in your node (using Dashboard or whatever).
Question to the community: Pattern or anti-pattern? :-)
