I disagree. Configuration files — and templates are such — should live in /etc, and files dynamically created and modified by puppet should be in /var/lib. /var/lib/puppet/modules is simply a canonical location to give modules space for dyanmically managed files. Now, I agree with Micah that this is just one of several possible ways, but it is probably the most common, thanks to David Schmitt, and sometimes standardisation just needs someome to put their foot down. ;) It's just a directory (and a README file maybe, maybe even a note in README.Debian)… -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems this space intentionally left blank.
