Deprecation notice

This module was designed for Puppet versions 2 and 3. It should work also on Puppet 4 but doesn't use any of its features.

The current Puppet 3 compatible codebase is no longer actively maintained by example42.

Still, Pull Requests that fix bugs or introduce backwards compatible features will be accepted.

USAGE

• Set the desired timezone

    class { 'timezone':
      timezone => 'Europe/Rome',
    }
  

Alternatively you can define the ::timezone top scope variable somewhere (in an ENC) and just:

    $::timezone = 'Europe/Rome'
    include timezone

• Specify if hardware clock uses GMT (default is 'false' and localtime is used)

    class { 'timezone':
      timezone => 'Europe/Rome',
      hw_utc   => true,
    }
  

  or:

    $::timezone = 'Europe/Rome'
    $::timezone_hw_utc = true
    include timezone
  

• Use custom template for timezone config file. Refer to $config_file in params.pp to see what's actually the file managed. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'timezone':
      template => 'example42/timezone/timezone.conf.erb',
    }
  

• Automatically include a custom subclass

    class { 'timezone':
      my_class => 'example42::my_timezone',
    }
