I'm going to pick up the work from here. Current branch is here: <https://github.com/kbarber/facter/tree/ticket/master/4561-add_structured_data> And here for Puppet: <https://github.com/kbarber/puppet/tree/ticket/master/4561-add_structured_facts> ---------------------------------------- Feature #4561: Structured data should be supported https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4561 Author: Luke Kanies Status: Accepted Priority: Low Assignee: Ken Barber Category: library Target version: 2.0.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/kbarber/facter/tree/ticket/master/4561-add_structured_data Affected Facter version: Facter currently only supports a flat result list, and it should instead support structured data - basically, a hash of hashes and arrays. This should probably be able to be represented in two ways - either a hash of hashes/arrays, or namespaces. That is, this: <pre> {:top => {:middle => {:bottom => "value"}}} </pre> Could also be represented as: <pre> top::middle::bottom = value </pre> We could optionally have a converter that s/::/_/g for backward compatibility, which should be both trivial and unnecessary, but there should definitely be some kind of backward compatibility mode for callers who can't deal with structured data. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
