Looking into it now, thanks. Related question, I see a lot of modules
where an optional package is available as another class, example
include apache::ssl
would install apache and mod_ssl. With parametrized classes is it now
better to make this a parameter?
node blahblah {
class { 'apache':
ssl_package => true,
}
}
I'm just trying to do things "right" the first time.
