ah ok. thanks
Single files cannot be merged. After all, how would you define the merge

I did come across this too - http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5158, and
implemented this:
custom function added:
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:cat, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
args.join("")
end
end
files then uses content:
content => cat(file("/etc/puppet/modules/app/files/sysconfig-base"),
file("/etc/puppet/modules/app/files/$env/sysconfig.$hostname")),
Just need to add in some path detection or some variable so that I don't
have to specify the path the files (is there a variable available that gives
$module_path? )

[Puppet Users] sourceselect & multiple sources not working
Hi,
I am trying to configure a file resource with multiple sources, and browsing
list archives and forums seems to indicate that sourceselect parameter with
an array for the source param. But the final file gets created using the
first matching parameter in the array.
file { '/etc/sysconfig/myconfig':
sourceselect=> all,
source => [
"puppet:///modules/app/$env/sysconfig.$hostname",
"puppet:///modules/app/sysconfig-base"
],
owner => 'someuser',
group => 'somegroup',
mode=> '0664',
require => Package['app'],
}
If i set source to either 1 or the other, instead of an array, it works as
expected. by swapping the 2 array elements around, i get either the hostname
version only, or the base version only, but the content is never merged (i
get the content of the first element).
Is this the correct way to have multiple source files merged?

[Puppet Users] Serverside concatenation and conditional checks
Hi,
I'm trying to configure sysconfig file for a module.
within modules, i have mod/files/ directory which contains sysconfig-base
and sysconfig-nodename files.
>From the module's init.pp, I then want to create a final file that consists
of the concatenation of sysconfig-base and sysconfig-nodename (if
sysconfig-nodename exists). This is what I have:
file { '/etc/sysconfig/application':
source => "puppet:///modules/mod/sysconfig-base"
other_flags => "all other required file flags configured"
}
I am not sure how to concatenate the sysconfig-$hostname file on the server
side. I have installed r.i. pienaars concat module, but that seems to work
client-side, and not sure how to configure a conditional statement for
server-side module file after this. 1 way of implementing that will work is
by creating 2 files on the client: sysconfig.base and sysconfig.$hostname,
and THEN using the client-side concat module, but I don't think this is a
good way of implementing this.
alternatively: create a "concat.rb" ruby file (a new area of knowledge for
me) to define a server-side concat of the files from the module dir, and
then define the file above using "content" instead of "source"...
Any of these methods on the right "puppetized" way of doing things?
