Once again, I hit a "documentation is lacking" problem. The above command generates a whole BUNCH of files: ./tests/init.pp ./README ./Modulefile ./spec/spec.opts ./spec/spec_helper.rb ./metadata.json ./manifests/init.pp But the README is utterly useless in mentioning what the contents of each of those files is supposed to be. Also... my earlier assumption seems to be correct. In principle, at least. Just looking at the "best practices layout" autogenerated there... this seems to be primarily geared towards *classes*, and end user "modules". Not back end "here's a whole new resource type" code. And IMO, that's as it should be. Back end ruby language code should be held separate from regular "puppet language code" stuff. But that doesn't leave me a clear path for how to have my svcprop resource shared out to others. As a suggestion.. if you guys INSIST on overloading the term "module", to cover both user-level code, and back-end code, then I would recommend you add an additional, separate subcommand to puppet-module, that generates back-end templating, instead of the default user-side templating. Dumping both types of templating as the default, would make things more confusing to the general-case user. It's confusing enough (with all the extra junk like "metadata.json" and "./spec/spec.opts") without making it more so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
