-##Overview
+<a id="overview"></a>
+## Overview
The concat module lets you construct files from multiple ordered fragments of text.
-##Module Description
+<a id="module-description"></a>
+## Module Description
-The concat module lets you gather `concat::fragment` resources from your other modules and order them through a single `concat` resource into a coherent file. It does this through a Ruby script and a temporary holding space for the fragments.

-##Setup
-
-###What concat affects
-
-* Installs `concatfragments.rb`.
-* Adds a `concat/` directory into Puppet's `vardir`.

+## Usage
-###Maintain a list of the major modules on a node
+### Maintain a list of the major modules on a node
To maintain an motd file that lists the modules on one of your nodes, first create a class to frame up the file:
mode => '0644'
}
- concat::fragment{ 'motd_header':
+ concat::fragment { 'motd_header':
target => $motd,
content => "\nPuppet modules on this server:\n\n",
order => '01'
# let local users add to the motd by creating a file called
# /etc/motd.local
- concat::fragment{ 'motd_local':
+ concat::fragment { 'motd_local':
target => $motd,
source => '/etc/motd.local',
order => '15'
}
# let other modules register themselves in the motd
-define motd::register($content="", $order='10') {
+define motd::register (
+ $content = "",
+ $order = '10',
+) {
if $content == "" {
$body = $name
} else {
$body = $content
}
- concat::fragment{ "motd_fragment_$name":
+ concat::fragment { "motd_fragment_$name":
target => '/etc/motd',
order => $order,
content => " -- $body\n"
class apache {

-##Reference
-
-**Note**: Several of this module's parameters and features have been deprecated. See the [Deprecations](#deprecations) section below.
-
-###Public defines
-* `concat`: Manages a file, compiled from one or more text fragments.
-* `concat::fragment`: Manages a fragment of text to be compiled into a file.
-
-###Parameters
-
-####`concat`
-
-All the parameters listed below are optional.
-
-#####`backup`
-
-Specifies whether (and how) to back up the destination file before overwriting it. Your value gets passed on to Puppet's [native `file` resource](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file-attribute-backup) for execution. Valid options: 'true', 'false', or a string representing either a target filebucket or a filename extension beginning with ".". Default value: 'puppet'.
-
-#####`ensure`
-
-Specifies whether the destination file should exist. Setting to 'absent' tells Puppet to delete the destination file if it exists, and negates the effect of any other parameters. Valid options: 'present' and 'absent'. Default value: 'present'.
-
-
-#####`ensure_newline`
-
-Specifies whether to ensure there's a new line at the end of each fragment. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default value: 'false'.
-
-#####`force`
-
-In case no fragments have been added, this parameter specifies whether to go ahead and create a potentially empty file. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default value: 'false'.
-
-#####`group`
-
-Specifies a permissions group for the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a group name. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`mode`
-
-Specifies the permissions mode of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a permission mode value in octal notation. Default value: '0644'.
-
-#####`order`
-
-Specifies a method for sorting your fragments by name within the destination file. Valid options: 'alpha' (e.g., '1, 10, 2') or 'numeric' (e.g., '1, 2, 10'). Default value: 'alpha'.
-
-You can override this setting for individual fragments by adjusting the `order` parameter in their `concat::fragment` declarations.
-
-#####`owner`
-
-
-Specifies the owner of the destination file. Valid options: a string containing a username. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`path`
-
-
-Specifies a destination file for the combined fragments. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path. Default value: the title of your declared resource.
-
-#####`replace`
-
-Specifies whether to overwrite the destination file if it already exists. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default value: 'true'.
-
-#####`validate_cmd`
-
-Specifies a validation command to apply to the destination file. Requires Puppet version 3.5 or newer. Valid options: a string to be passed to a file resource. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`warn`
-
-Specifies whether to add a warning message at the top of the destination file so users know it was autogenerated by Puppet. Valid options: 'true', 'false', or a string to be delivered as a warning message. Default value: 'false'.
-
-
-If you set this parameter to 'true', Puppet adds the following message:
-
-~~~
-# This file is managed by Puppet. DO NOT EDIT.
-~~~
-
-####`concat::fragment`
-
-
-Except where noted, all the below parameters are optional.
-
-#####`content`
-
-Supplies the content of the fragment. **Note**: You must supply either a `content` parameter or a `source` parameter. Valid options: a string. Default value: undef.
-
-#####`ensure`
-
-Specifies whether the fragment should be included in the destination file or discarded. Valid options: 'present' and 'absent'. Default value: 'present'.
-
-#####`order`
-
-Reorders your fragments within the destination file. Fragments that share the same order number are ordered by name. Valid options: a string (recommended) or an integer. Default value: '10'.
-
-#####`source`
-
-Specifies a file to read into the content of the fragment. **Note**: You must supply either a `content` parameter or a `source` parameter. Valid options: a string or an array, containing one or more Puppet URLs. Default value: undefined.
-
-#####`target`
-
-*Required.* Specifies the destination file of the fragment. Valid options: a string containing an absolute path.

+## Reference
-###Deprecations
+See [REFERENCE.md](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat/blob/master/REFERENCE.md)
-**`concat` has the following deprecations**
+<a id="removed-functionality"></a>
+### Removed functionality
-#####`gnu`
+The following functionality existed in previous versions of the concat module, but was removed in version 2.0.0:
-Generates a catalog compile time warning and has no effect. This parameter was silently ignored in version `1.0.0` and will be removed in a future release.
+Parameters removed from `concat::fragment`:
+* `gnu`
+* `backup`
+* `group`
+* `mode`
+* `owner`
-#####stringified 'true'/'false' values deprecated in `warn`
+The `concat::setup` class has also been removed.
-Passing stringified boolean values (strings of 'true' and 'false') to the `warn` parameter of `concat` is deprecated. Generates a catalog compile time warning, and will be silently treated as the concatenated file header/warning message in a future release.
+Prior to concat version 2.0.0, if you set the `warn` parameter to a string value of `true`, `false`, 'yes', 'no', 'on', or 'off', the module translated the string to the corresponding boolean value. In concat version 2.0.0 and newer, the `warn_header` parameter treats those values the same as other strings and uses them as the content of your header message. To avoid that, pass the `true` and `false` values as booleans instead of strings.
-Please migrate to using the Puppet DSL's native [Boolean data
-type](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_datatypes.html#booleans).
+<a id="limitations"></a>
+## Limitations
+This module has been tested on [all PE-supported platforms](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/supported#compat-matrix), and no issues have been identified.
-**`concat::fragment` has the following deprecations**
-
-#####`backup`
-
-Generates a catalog compile time warning and has no effect. In the `1.0.0` release this parameter controlled file bucketing of the file fragment. Bucketing the fragment(s) is redundant with bucketing the final concatenated file and this feature has been removed.
-
-
-#####`group`
-
-Generates a catalog compile time warning and has no effect. Had no user-visible effect in version `1.0.0` and will be removed in a future release.
-
-#####`mode`
-
-Generates a catalog compile time warning and has no effect. Had no user-visible effect in version `1.0.0` and will be removed in a future release.
-
-
-#####`owner`
-
-Generates a catalog compile time warning and has no effect. Had no user-visible effect in version `1.0.0` and will be removed in a future release.
-
-#####file paths are deprecated in `ensure`
-
-Passing a value other than 'present' or 'absent' in the `ensure` parameter of `concat::fragment` is **deprecated**, and generates a catalog compile time warning. The warning will become a catalog compilation failure in a future release.
-
-If you want to use the content of a file as a fragment please use the [`source`](#source) parameter.
-
-####`concat::setup`
+For an extensive list of supported operating systems, see [metadata.json](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat/blob/master/metadata.json)
-The `concat::setup` class should no longer be directly included in the manifest. It will be removed in a future release.

+## Development
-##Limitations
+We are experimenting with a new tool for running acceptance tests. It's name is [puppet_litmus](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus) this replaces beaker as the test runner. To run the acceptance tests follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus/wiki/Tutorial:-use-Litmus-to-execute-acceptance-tests-with-a-sample-module-(MoTD)#install-the-necessary-gems-for-the-module).
