We used Gavin's approach and created a "downloads" mount within Puppet, so Puppet still handles the file transfer, but it's from a different set of directories outside of the git repo(s). Also, for anyone creating .deb / .rpm package files, if you aren't using 'fpm', you should be. -- You

Attempting to use hiera to hold all of my node-specific variables. It has been some time since I have run a puppet server, but I know it's not THAT hard. That being said, my modules run fine, but hiera is not looking them up correctly. It appears that any lines that contain any variables in
