[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#563558: puppetmaster - Classes nested in nodes are also merged

[Bastian Blank]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.25.1-3
Severity: normal

The following does not work:
| class test {
|   sshkey { $fqdn: type => rsa, key => $sshrsakey, alias => ["test"] }
| }
| 
| node a {
|   class alias inherits test {
|     Sshkey[$fqdn] { alias => ["test"] }
|   }
|   include alias
| }
| 
| node default {
|   class alias inherits test {
|     Sshkey[$fqdn] { alias => ["test"] }
|   }
|   include alias
| }

Both "alias" classes are merged as if node does not define its own
namespace. The documentation and my tests shows that this works with
nested classes so I'm surprised that it does not work in node
definitions.
