Thanks for the good feedback. It was good to have a new way to think about. So has the group talked about the line between provisioning and CM? I haven't found much online about when the business process moves from the provisioning architecture to the cm architecture. It might be a good thing to throw out to the list.
This way we can at least have some basic structure so that, like my requests, we can evaluate which bucket they fall into.
Yours,
Aaron

Essentially the snippet insertion is done /before/ running things through Cheetah, so when given to Cheetah the templates look as if they were all part of one big file all along ... so if you do "#set foo = 'bar'" in one snippet (or in the master template), it's valid later on down the line.
My thinking was to break them up into snippets then for the once I could, define variables to make them more useful.
What I liked about this was that I could then use the snippets in other places. But perhaps puppet is a good choice or something like it. Although one of the selling points I do want to try to keep is that we are using base technology. I am hoping to keep my provisioning and upkeep system as simple as possible.
Presently you cannot have one snippet include other snippets through the Cobbler facility, though you can use Cheetah's built-in include if you need that. Cheetah includes require the usage of "#set global" for passing variables between includes.
