you typically want to wrap your file resources in a define like
define remote_file($url="puppet://puppet.foo.bar/files",$path) {
file { "$name": source => [
"$url/$path.$host",
"$url/$path.$operatingsystem",
"$url/$path" ],
}
}
There are some tricks to dynamically pass other file parameters, but
this is the gist of it.
