Many thanks for your reply, unfortunately I'm quickly getting into a mess:

What I'd like is to do define some defaults like this: 'EPEL' enabled 1 gpgcheck 0 baseurl http://internal/EPEL 'OMGREPO' enabled 0 gpgcheck 1 baseurl http://internal/OMGREPO then to enable it, but changing those defaults: myrepos::repo { 'EPEL' enabled 0 'OMGREPO' enabled 1 gpgcheck 0 } **note: syntax removed above** The alternative is to put the repo name, enabled flag, baseurl, gpgcheck flag in each node manifest, which is also not good. > Better, however, might be for class myyumrepos to rely on an external > data source (e.g. via hiera) to choose the correct 'enabled' value for > each repo in the first place: > > # (in class myyumrepos) > yumrepo { 'EPEL': > # ... > enabled => hiera('EPEL_enabled') > # ... > } I can see this as being better, but it seems like a work around for not being able to represent (or think of a way to represent) the information above in puppet. I'd end up with a boolean for every repo, and the other options for each repo. Is there a way to do this without hiera, like using the imaginary syntax above? > > > John > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A fast, anti-spam email service. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
