Issue #1946 has been updated by Michael DeHaan. Keywords set to performance scaling
Talking with eric0 online, the reason he wants "url" is not just for path convience as this subject suggests, but to use other transports. For instance https:// provides better load balanancing and speed options. (Other folks may want to choose to use NFS. (Or even smbfs). Naturally those could be mounted, though we should keep Windows fileshare notation in mind.) I realize security is somewhat different here, but may not matter deeply in all environments and may only be bypassed for large files. ---------------------------------------- Feature #1946: let file() obtain file contents from fileserver and/or module space http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1946 Author: martin krafft Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: fileserving Target version: Statler Affected version: 0.24.5 Keywords: performance scaling Branch: file() as it is requires an absolute pathname. It would be nice if relative pathnames would be resolved relative to the root of the fileserver 'files' hierarchy, unless they start out with a module name, in which case the module space should be searched. For instance file("etc/motd") ==> puppet:///files/etc/motd files("motd/etc/motd") ==> .../modules/motd/files/etc/motd -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
