Yes, selectors are fine for variable assignment. But you seem to be
mixing a case and a selector[1]. Those are similar, but subtly
different.
I'm, *ahem*, just getting home but I think this may do what you're
after?
case $operatingsystem {
'CentOS','RedHat': {
$ntp_service = $operatingsystemrelease ? {
/5.5|6.0/ => "ntpd"
}
}
'SLES': {
$ntp_service = $operatingsystemrelease ? {
/10.[1-3]|11.[0-1]/ => "ntp"
}
}
}
To reduce that further I might go for something like:
$ntp_service = $operatingsystem ? {
/CentOS|RedHat/ => 'ntpd',
'SLES' => 'ntp'
}
Deal with the specific versions when you need to . Instead of '5.5' or
'6.0' why not catch all CentOS & RedHat versions?
And, if youre doing that, simply define exceptions and let the rest
fall through to a default value:
$ntp_service = $operatingsystem ? {
'SLES' => 'ntp',
default => 'ntpd'
}
