3.1 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Overview

Library for concatenating multiple files into 1.

Usage

Creating a file fragment

Creates a file fragment to be collected by file_concat based on the tag.

Example with exported resource:

@@file_fragment { "uniqe_name_${::fqdn}":
  tag     => 'unique_tag',            # Mandatory.
  order   => 10,                      # Optional. Defaults to 10.
  content => 'some content'           # OR
  content => template('template.erb') # OR
  source  => 'puppet:///path/to/file'
}

Concatenating file fragments into one file

Gets all the file fragments and puts these into the target file. This will mostly be used with exported resources.

example:

File_fragment <<| tag == 'unique_tag' |>>

file_concat { '/tmp/file':
  tag     => 'unique_tag', # Mandatory
  path    => '/tmp/file',  # Optional. If given it overrides the resource name.
  owner   => 'root',       # Optional. Defaults to undef.
  group   => 'root',       # Optional. Defaults to undef.
  mode    => '0644'        # Optional. Defaults to undef.
  order   => 'numeric'     # Optional. Set to 'numeric' or 'alpha'. Defaults to numeric.
  replace => true          # Optional. Boolean Value. Defaults to true.
  backup  => false         # Optional. true, false, 'puppet', or a string. Defaults to 'puppet' for Filebucketing.
}
