Based on feedback from Luke, the facts.d directory should at least match
the directory that will be used by Facter 2.0.
Reading #2157 I believe the Facter 2.0 facts.d feature is reasonably API
compatible with this custom fact from R.I. so I'm comfortable using the
same filesystem path.
Change in behavior: Now look for facts in:
* /etc/facter/facts.d
* /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d
This fact is a direct copy of R.I.'s work at
https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts
This is necessary plumbing to allow the installer to write a simple text
file based on the role the node is receiving. For example:
$ cat /etc/puppetlabs/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_mcollective.txt
fact_stomp_port=61613
fact_stomp_server=puppetmaster
fact_is_puppetagent=true
fact_is_puppetmaster=true
The mcollectivepe module relies on these facts being set and we need a
persistent place to write them during the interview process and later
read them when puppet agent runs to configure MCollective on the agent
systems.
Since stdlib is a public module, both /etc/facts.d and
/etc/puppetlabs/facts.d are scanned for static facts.
Without this patch the resource whole_line would be included in the
stable stdlib module shipping in PE 1.2. Ideally the name will be
stable and unchanging in the future.
There was quite a bit of concern over whole_line being an unwise name.
file_line appears to be the most suitable name and least likely to need
another rename in the future.
The accounts module is making use of validate_array() and
validate_string() which do not exist int he stdlib module without this
patch.
This patch adds the two functions to the stdlib with unit tests.

The previous behavior of the merge() function used Array#inject with two
arguments. Ruby 1.8.5 only supports inject being used with one
argument.
This change initializes and empty Hash object and merges each argument
into the accumulator. The last argument still "wins" in the merge.
rspec tests (cd spec; rspec **/*_spec.rb) verified as passing with this
change.

In Puppet, it is not possible to reassign hash
values.
This function allows a reasonable way to perform
hash munging in Puppet.

It is difficult to use existance of keys in a hash
as a boolean condition in Puppet (see #8705)
This function provides a working solution until
the underlying issue in Puppet can be resolved.

This change adds a loadyaml() puppet function that takes a path to a
YAML data file and returns the contents as a Puppet variable. There is
currently no validation of the contents of the file.
This commit is intentionally lacking unit tests because of time
constraints.

This commit adds a native type that can check if
a line exists and append it to a file.
This use case seems common enough to warrant its
inclusion into stdlib.

This isn't directly related to #8010, but rather indirectly fills the
need to allow the end user to configure where data values are looked up.
This allows the namespace to be passed as a class parameter. A module
may then quickly and easily look up data from the user-defined
namespace.
With Puppet 2.6.x we do not have a way to specify containment
relationships. In the use case of class ntp { } declaring
ntp::{package,config,service} classes, the ntp class itself should allow
the user to specify before and require relationships to the main ntp
class.
The anchor resource type allows module authors to close the loop on
classes composing the main top level module. For example:
class ntp {
class { 'ntp::package': }
-> class { 'ntp::config': }
-> class { 'ntp::service': }
# These two resources "anchor" the composed classes
# such that the end user may use "require" and "before"
# relationships with Class['ntp']
anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> class { 'ntp::package': }
class { 'ntp::service': } -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
}
Using this pattern, the module user may then simply declare relationships to
the ntp class as they expect:
class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
# OR
class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
This function aborts catalog compilation if any of the passed
values are not true or false. Note, this catches the string
values of true and false correct and will abort catalog
compilation if they are not boolean values.

While developing Puppet Modules with class parameters, data from the
user should be validated as per the Style Guide. Puppet should fail
early and hard in the situation of invalid data being passed into the
module.
This function provides a more concise method to the alternative of using
if statements in the Puppet manifests.
