Remember that a puppet manifest is not a script. You are simply
making an unordered list of resources to apply to a host. With that
in mind, a "break" statement just doesn't make sense.
I do feel your pain, though, and have struggled with the same issue
myself. It feels wrong to have most of the lines of a class indented
an extra block. Maybe you can put the conditional outside the code:
node mynode {
if $::flag_enabled {
include mymodule
}
}
or even rewrite the class:
class mymodule {
if $::flag_enabled {
include mymodule::enabled
} else {
include mymodule::disabled
}
}
