Neil and John,
You guys both agree on using individual files and I was thinking of how I
could do this. If I have one file or three, it may not be a big deal to do
individually, but some applications could need dozens or more.
I don't know if it is possible, some searching makes me believe it isn't,
but I'll share my thought.
Can you do something like a for loop in a bash script. So it would be
something like...
for files in .../module_name/Preferences/ # get a list of files and
folders in the Preferences subfolder on the Puppet Master
file { '/System/Library/User
Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/${files}': #Directory on Puppet
agent, the variable would make this a unique resource and it would work for
a file and folder
source => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/Preferences/${files}", #
Since it is looping every file on the Puppet Master would match perfectly
to the same exact file/folder on the agent. No duplicate declaration.
done
John,
I think I understand what your code is trying to do, but am not sure I
understand how to implement. I think that $preference_sources is making a
list of paths (puppet paths) to the Preferences folder of each module, and
I know that sourceselect all means that it will use all sources instead of
stopping at the first match. I also see that the preferences_sources is
being created from a regex expression that I don't completely understand,
though that shouldn't matter in getting this to work.
Is this still a defined type? Should class mac_managed_preferences be
defined or are we making a new class for each applications preferences
(assuming that's the $applications variable in the class name)? I tried it
as a defined type, and I once again got it to work with one application but
not two. Which makes sense as two applications are calling it. If it is a
unique class and not a defined type, then wouldn't this class apply
preferences for applications on machines that don't have them?
If it still is a defined type, then this is the code that caused a
duplicate declaration below. Perhaps a syntax issue? This is the only
syntax where I could get things to run. If this code is for a unique
class, then I think I need a bit more description in how it is to work.
class managed_preferences {}
define mac_managed_preferences ($application) {
include managed_preferences
$preference_sources = regsubst($application, '^.*$',
'puppet:///modules/\0/Preferences')
file { '/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences':
ensure => 'directory',
owner => 'root',
group => 'wheel',
mode => '0600',
recurse => true,
source => $preference_sources,
sourceselect => 'all'
}
}
