// , Is there a better way to deal with this in later versions of Puppet?
I lean toward using different manifests for different operating system variations, but like the original poster says, no matter how one organizes the logic, it still gets tedious. Puppet 4.9 doesn't even seem to have in line selectors: https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/lang_summary.html#selectors https://duckduckgo.com/?q=inurl%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fdocs.puppet.com%2Fpuppet%2Flatest%2F+%22selectors%22&t=h_&ia=web Should I consider having a different module for each OS, say, a module named appcerts_pkgs_windows and a module named appcerts_pkgs_linux, with different manifests for the variations under each? The whole point of Puppet is to manage multiple operating systems and variations from a single source. It would surprise me if they didn't have a solution, but I just can't seem to find it.
