This prompted me, as a struggling newcomer, to have another look at the topic.
It's very easy to ignore the "item" in that description. If you do this (and
ignore the filtering effect of classes) you end up degenerating to:-
- a bundle is a semicolon separated list of <property> => <value> pairs
- a body is a comma separated list of <property> => <value> pairs
When you do update the documentation, can you find some way of rewording the
first bit of
Accordingly, bodies are only used as property containers
while bundles are only used for promises definitions.
The control bodies are only exception to the naming
convention (the control word comes third, not second),
and they define the Cfengine component controls.
to make sure that you highlight that a bundle MUST have an item, as it is a set
of promises about the state of that item. Then find an equally short way of
describing a body.
