- ImprovedResourceIdentification Puppet currently uses what is known as the *namevar* to uniquely identify resources, so you don't try to manage twice the same resource in the same manifest. For example, in the case of files, the whole path of the file acts as the namevar, so if you include two file resources with the same path in a manifest puppet will abort showing an error. This is not enough, as in certain cases the namevar parameter doesn't uniquely identify a resource. For example, in Gentoo you may have two different packages with the same name under different categories (dev-java/ant and app-vim/ant or app-admin/sudo and app-vim/sudo, to name a few), so you wouldn't be able to install both those packages with puppet, as it would think they are the same one.
