Bug #3792: Variables in site.pp don't really work right with selectors,
possibly a problem with selectors on exported resources

I've been moving a lot of repetitive strings into site.pp and started moving my
nagios config vars into there. The problem I run into though is that I admin
both OpenBSD and Linux boxes. The OpenBSD ones have slightly different paths
for nagios stuff so take a look at this example from site.pp:
<pre>
$nagios_root_dir = $kernel ? {
Linux => "/etc/nagios3",
OpenBSD => "/etc/nagios"
}
</pre>
Now, have a look at this Linux box's (most definitely, without a doubt facter
reports this is linux) error:
<pre>
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find dependency
File[/etc/nagios/nagios.puppet.d/services] for
Nagios_service[@@check_nagios_on_binpatch-i386.mysite] at line 115
</pre>
What's a little odd is that the host that is exporting the nagios service IS
OpenBSD. So maybe this isn't a selector in site.pp error, but a sort of node
variable confusion with exported resources, I don't know.
The resource name for that file is derived partly from $nagios_root_dir. More
specifically, this can be found later in site.pp:
<pre>
$nagios_cfg_dir = "${nagios_root_dir}/nagios.puppet.d"
</pre>
And in the module where the actual resource is:
<pre>
[
"$nagios_cfg_dir/hosts",
"$nagios_cfg_dir/services",
"$nagios_cfg_dir/contacts",
"$nagios_cfg_dir/commands",
"$nagios_cfg_dir/contactgroups",
"$nagios_cfg_dir/hostgroups"
]:
ensure => "directory",
mode => "755",
require => File["$nagios_cfg_dir"];
}
</pre>
Also, selectors seem to work as expected in site.pp for resource defaults:
<pre>
Package {
ensure => "present",
source => $kernel ? {
OpenBSD =>
"ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/${kernel}/${operatingsystemrelease}/packages/${hardwaremodel}/";,
default => undef
},
}
</pre>
