Using the simple use case example in the comments at the top of
concat/init.pp, simply,
node 'test01.fr.xxx.com' {
concat::fragment{
"foo.com_config":
target => "/etc/somefile",
content => template("dhcp/host.erb");
}
}
That's it. I figured it would take the contents of dhcp/host.erb and
append it to /etc/somefile, but instead I get the error:
Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find dependent
Exec[concat_/etc/named.conf] for
File[/_etc_named.conf/fragments/10_foo.com_config] at
/etc/puppet/modules/concat/manifests/fragment.pp:45
And .... now that I think about it... isn't this incredibly
inefficient? Doesn't the client basically have to reconstruct the file
from scratch every time?
