You are suggesting to create an external data reference for something which should be 100% expressed within the puppet policies. There is no other need for external data lookup (related to this software, this unit build, etc) so having to build an infrastructure and new data source to express this idea simply doesn't make much sense. > Instead of making the case that someone else should do this, I recommend that > you code up a solution and issue a pull request.

Given that most of the work I've submitted to date hasn't even been reviewed nevermind prioritized, I think you can understand why I avoid writing code before there is someone interested in having it. Over the years I've learned to pay attention to this, and my effort based on that. > Code wins arguments. I so totally wish that were true, but I've spent far too many years in the linux / *bsd / postgres / etc communities to be that naive ;-) -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
