Write a custom fact that reads a simple data source like a text file
that the developers can write to like:
(tested briefly, may have bugs)
webapps_conf = "/etc/webapps.conf"
if File.readable?(webapps_conf)
f = File.open(webapps_conf, 'r')
f.readlines.each do |line|
webapp = line.chomp
Facter.add("webapp_#{webapp}_enabled") do
setcode do
"true"
end
end
end
f.close
end
and then you'll have a data source the developers can control that
specifies what apps they work on, and you can do conditional work in
your manifests based upon these values.
if $webapp_bar_enabled == "true" {
include webapps::bar
}
etc etc.
