>From what I've seen in other modules, the more common way is to do
something like this:
class php {
case $::operatingsystem {
'Gentoo': {
include php::gentoo
}
/(RedHat|CentOS)/: {
include php::redhat
}
}
And then implement the correct packages and files inside those
subclasses. You can still have a class called php::fpm which then
configures fpm, it would have class parameters for the specific file
paths that change per OS for instance.
good luck,
Walter
