lightblue-puppet and puppetlabs-concat

This is a puppet module that allows you to create a file by concatenating smaller templates together. I think this could be a better solution to our datasources.json.erb file, instead of one monolithic template, we could create one for each plugin (ldap, mongo, rdbms, etc). Each small template would have it's own puppet class/define that when included/required would automatically append itself.

If there are no objections, I would like to bring this in as part of the changes need to deploy ldap.

Thanks,
Dennis

We have something like this internally. Do you know if it's based on this module or is something else? Adding external module dependencies may cause issues for using our puppet modules, especially if there are custom modules with name collisions making it difficult to consume the modules we depend on. I don't think that's the case with this, but it's something we should consider.

Re: lightblue-puppet and puppetlabs-concat

Yes, what we have internally appears to be an older clone of puppetlabs-concat. Maybe we can discuss updating the internal copy, but otherwise, I think this one is safe.
