I think I got it. I was confused because of the manifest path and the
special init.pp main class. Didn't realize the init.pp requires to be in
the top main levels and for subdirectories classes it has to be within
manifest path.
In our scenario, we used the pkg directory within adhoc to push pkgs
forward depending on the version. So for instance, we would have
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/adhoc/pkg/adhoc-0.1.1/manifests/{init.pp,etc}
which we would have a script that pushes it into Redhat Satellite depending
on the package release required.
I think in our scenario it should be fine since Satellite ends up looking
at it as
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/adhoc/manifests
in the end. I was just testing if all the puppet code was working since
running "puppet parser validate [file]" would return those warnings.
Thanks for the explanation!
