I think I found a way around without losing the strengths:
if "$sshdPackage" in hiera_array ('packages', []) {
do_something
}
This at least fits for me. I also tried to tag packages:
define install_packages ($package = $title) {
[...]
tag "Hello"
if tagged("Hello") {
notify { "TAGGED 'Hello'": }
}
}
This works within the define but not outside
class fail2ban {
if tagged("Hello") {
notify { "TAGGED 'Hello'": }
}
}
does not output anything allthough install_packges is involved.
