Puppet

This warning appears in src/lib/puppet/file_serving/configuration.rb:

“DEPRECATION NOTICE: Files found in modules without specifying ‘modules’ in file path will be deprecated in the next major release. Please fix module ‘%s’ when no 0.24.x clients are present”

I think it’s trying to say something like: Please change source => “puppet:///mymodule/myfile” to source => “puppet:///modules/mymodule/myfile” in all file resources.

However, I don’t see any documentation that explains this change, and without documentation to back it up, I find the warning confusing. Almost all the examples that I can find use the name of the module, not the word “modules”, as the first component of the path (after the server name) in the “source” parameter of file resources. Even the release notes for puppet 0.25.0 (which I think is where the change occurred) don’t hint at this. They say “The module name must now be specified in source attributes of the file type” (which I thought had already been true in version 0.24), and don’t say anything about the word “modules”.
