What do you mean about existing modules not having Hiera support? Modules do not need special support for Hiera because *every* parameterized class's parameters can be provided via Hiera. This is Puppet's automatic data binding feature, and it is by far the most common way that Hiera is used. It is the only way that parameterized classes' parameters should be assigned from outside their modules. It is also possible for DSL code to perform explicit data lookups, in which case a module might document specific Hiera keys (different from those corresponding to class parameters) by which module users can provide data. This is not much done any more, however. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
