Description

Tags should allow exclusions, i.e. all,!test That’s probably the most common case you would want to use tags, so that rather than tagging everything as production, you can just tag those items you are playing with.

I think you’ll find this works – at least in does in the tagmail report…?

I don’t mean tagmail, I mean manifest tags. I want to run puppetd -tags all,!test and get all objects for the node that are not tagged test.

Martha – I know you meant —tags but was suggesting that this might already be possible? Have you tested it? If it isn’t possible then that’s fine and I’d say this is an excellent enhancement.

This does work in tagmail, but it doesn’t work in transactions, as Martha is indicating.

Hello Guys,

With this feature I’ll be able to do some like this?

node default {
    include dst
    include aide
    include cfg2html
    include tcpwrappers
    include shorewall

}

node exclusion host5001, host5002, host5003 {
    exclude tcpwrappers

}

Thanks!

No, the subject specifies command-line exclusion, not in the language.

So, today its possible do what I want to do? (exclude some host from default)? =)

No, it’s not possible; just that this ticket is unrelated.

What is the status of this ticket? The mailing list has a patch that seems to relate but isn’t merged:

I expect that the patch is unsuitable now that 2.6 (or even 2.7) is the expected target… anything I can do to help?
