[Puppet Users] Ways to support Puppet Labs?

So I use puppet at home a lot, but I'm not going to be paying for enterprise support for that cuz $$$ouch :). My company isn't likely to do that any time soon either. I'd love to support you guys, though; is there a book or t-shirt or something I could buy such that money would get back to you?

Re: [Puppet Users] Passenger, Puppet/ nodes.pp ignored with external nodes script?

2011-02-19 Thread Gary Larizza
With regard to the External Nodes problem - are you returning an empty block of YAML if the node isn't defined in the external nodes script? That's the way Puppet knows to check for the nodes.pp file. If you return /NOTHING/ (i.e. not an empty YAML block), then nodes.pp isn't checked. -Gary On
