Puppet

What about the tests I provided? Have you updated those and do they pass now?

I am stuck with this bit:

# This writes one element of the syslog configuration file properly
# but does not deal well with multiple elements.
# provider/syslog/parsed.rb

require 'puppet/provider/parsedfile'

# The default target
# We should be able to override this by setting it explicitly in Facter
syslogfile = nil
case Facter.value(:syslogfile)
when nil:
        syslogconf = '/etc/syslog.conf'
else
        syslogconf = Facter.value(:syslogfile)
end

Puppet::Type.type(:syslog).provide(:parsed,
        :parent => Puppet::Provider::ParsedFile,
        :default_target => syslogconf,
        :filetype => :flat
) do
        text_line :comment, :match => /^#/
        text_line :blank, :match => /^\s+/

        syslog = record_line :parsed,:fields => %w{facility priority destination},
                :match => %r{^(\w+)\.(\w+)\s+(.+)$}

        class << syslog
                def to_line(record)
                        Puppet.debug "Record in to_line is %s.%s\t\t\t\%s" % [record[:facility], record[:priority], record[:destination]]
                        str = ""
                        str += record[:facility] + '.' + record[:priority] + "\t\t\t" + record[:destination] + "\n"
                end

                def process(record)
#                       Puppet.debug "record in process is %s" %record
                        syslog = []
                        source, destination = record.split(/\s+/)
                        source.split(/;/).each do |logger|
                                facility, priority = logger.split(/\./)
                                log_record = {
                                        :facility => facility,
                                        :priority => priority,
                                        :destination => destination,
                                }
                                syslog << log_record
                        Puppet.debug "Key in process is %s %s and %s" % [syslogr0[:facility], syslogr0[:priority], syslogr0[:destination]]
                        end
                end
        end
end

Replying to [comment:5 devdas]: Ugh, ignore that. Attaching file.
