Hi John, now you really have me confused. I have a module with a custom type. Now I have a client (it should not matter whether it's the same machine or not, right?). I followed the steps of the puppet documentation (http://is.gd/3Bkzsx). Now I expect the type to be synched (which it is) and used on the "client side" (which it is not). I also checked with a different client btw, same result.
When you're saying "standard behavior" - which part do you mean exactly? And in all seriousness - manually copying the files in place cannot really be the way to go here. Thanks! Axel. Am Montag, 1.
