Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: methods organization in the 'main' bundle Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,25027,25043#msg-25043
I do multiple sub bundles. I start by grouping promises into functional groups (user management, filesystem permissions, application configuration, misc hardening). As in your example above, I have file names and bundles named similarly, so user management means there's a users.cf, and at the top of users.cf there's a bundle named users. Then the users bundle contains just methods, which -(sticking with the users example) further breaks things down into things like groups, application accounts, human users, ssh keys, etc. I try to make a bundle either a "meta bundle" with just methods or a "functional bundle" in general, so I don't have methods mixed with other promises (other than possibly vars and classes). I usually even do a "user_vars" and "user_classes" sub-bundle (in the case of users) to group common definitions together and keep the methods bundle clean. Then again, I come from a programming background, and the include files / methods stuff feeds my compulsion to treat CFEngine like a traditional procedural programming language - despite Mark's pleas to the contrary. :) But I think the end result does align with the goal of having a high-level description of what's being done, while being able to peel back the layers to get more and more detail as needed. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
