<pre wrap="">Hi,
Just out of curiosity, I've seen <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rudder">http://www.rudder</a>-
project.org/redmine/issues/3332 in 2.4.4 changelog and I started wondering,
what are Rudder variables and how do they work?
Thanks,
M</pre>

<font face="Ubuntu">Hello Michael,<br>
<br>
The "Rudder variables" the ticket express in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/3332">http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/3332</a> are the values
typed in a Directive. Theses values initialize some Rudder values
which will generate CFEngine promises.<br>
<br>
The problem pointed out here was about reusable Rudder variables
initialized by Directives based on Technique <i><b>Generic
Variable Definition</b></i>. With this Technique, it is
possible to define a variable <i>foo</i> and to reuse it with
another Technique, like <i><b>MOTD configuration</b></i> by
setting the content of the MOTD with the value of the variable <i>${generic_variable_definition.foo}</i>.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
