634357 - Refactor "case" switches on puppet

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I need to add a new puppet manifest on bug 633019 and I need to do a "case" switch to determine which libdir I should use.

That "case" switch is already on "packages/nagios.pp" and would like to know which refactor we could do so this can be reused in other places.

I would like to have a common place where all these variables are calculated (if possible).

For now I am making this a P5.

case $hardwaremodel {
    "x86_64": { $libdir = "lib64" }
    default: { $libdir = "lib" }
}

base/os.pp or base/nodes.pp would be a fine place to do this sortof thing.
