Question 2

In a simple case as per documentation:
class syslog {
file { "/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf":
path => "/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf",
ensure => file,
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
notify => Service[syslog],
source => "puppet:///files/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"
}
}
is there no variable for the first instance of
"/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"
???
Mentioning a string 3 times or more strikes me as unnecessarily
verbose and likely to lead to typos.
Yeah your a perl guy, I do the same thing, it's force of habit. The
example doesn't do a great job of highlighting that that string is
actually 3 completely different things so why not use 3 different names?
class syslog {
file { "syslog":
path => "/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf",
ensure => file,
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
notify => Service[syslog],
source => "puppet:///files/base_syslog.conf"
}
}
