This is a module that provides a native type for performing multi-part file concatenation, generally referred to by the Puppet Labs team as the File Fragment Pattern.
The concept is based on ideas that R.I. Pienaar describes on his Building files from fragments in Puppet page.
The recommended way to install this package is either through the Puppet module manager or via RPM. A spec file has been included that can be used to create an RPM if required.
This module is known to be compatible with Puppet 2.6.
This module has been designed to be quite flexible but follows the basic pattern of specifying file fragments and subsequently building a target file.
See the comments in the code for the definition of all options.
concat_build { "identifier":
order => ['*.tmp'],
target => '/tmp/test'
}
concat_fragment { "identifier+01.tmp":
content => "Some random stuff"
}
concat_fragment { "identifier+02.tmp":
content => "Some other random stuff"
}
Concat fragments are stored under /var/lib/puppet/concat/fragments.
- Don't hardcode /var/lib/puppet. Instead use the value of $vardir.
