Tom's solution is really unwieldy, though, and having to create local variables for every fact in every class that calls a template is going to lead to a lot of problems. -- Darren Chamberlain dar...@boston.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Agreed, facts are the one thing that really should be global IMHO.

What's the official best practice going to be for facts inside templates with puppet 2.7+? lookupvar all over the templates? Iterative assignments of all used fact values to local scope variables? Have other solutions been looked into? The first that would come to my mind would be having something like fact:: and use %= fact::fqdn %. Short-ish enough, very explicit and entirely isolated (except for anyone having a custom fact module ;-)).
