puppet 3.0.0 and hiera

[Henrik Lindberg]

Hi,
If I have understood it correctly, puppet 3.0.0 will include / require
hiera. In order to add support for hiera directly in Geppetto I
downloaded the puppet 3.0.0rc tarball expecting to find the puppet-hiera
functions, but they where not there.

What is the expected packaging going to be when 3.0.0 is released?
Where should I expect the hiera "parser functions" to be located?

(For now I can compose the result manually, but I would like to know
where they are supposed to be so I do this correctly from the start).

If you want to, you can also comment on

You'll need hiera-puppet, which contains the parser functions. Puppet 3.0.0 should bring in both Hiera and hiera-puppet as deps.

Thanks,
that is a good start. My issue is however that I don't want to install
things in order to scan them for content as I am building an index of
functions, types, etc. in the puppet runtime.

Currently Geppetto does not offer users the ability to do these scans so
I can just mash something up to create the index, but ultimately I would
want to be able to scan an (any) installation and get all the installed
functions.

So, my questions is really, in an installation, how does puppet find
puppet-hiera and know that there are parser functions. Is it added to
the module path or is it done via some other mechanism?

Reading this:
http://puppetlabs.com/blog/first-look-installing-and-using-hiera/ It
looks like the source needs to be copied into puppet's modulepath
drectory - will this be different in 3.0.0

Yes that's exactly what happens. Nothing has to be done. It will "just work".
