Issue #15300 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Category set to plug-ins
Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Assignee changed from Nigel Kersten to eric sorenson
Target version set to 3.x
Keywords set to pluginsync

The namespacing/load order is problematic but the files being copied on top of 
one another would be fixed if we replicated the module path structure from the 
master onto the client instead of squashing everything into $plugindest 
regardless of source.

Bug #15300: Pluginsync collisions
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15300#change-67459

Author: Ben Ford
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: plug-ins
Target version: 3.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: pluginsync
Branch: 


I had a problem come up in training last week involving synced facts that 
brought out a larger problem in pluginsync.

So if I create a module 'one' and define a fact in it called 'myfact', then 
create a module 'two' and also define a fact there called 'myfact' they will 
collide. The fact in 'two' will win because it comes later in the directory 
globbing. But worse is that they will be continuously fighting. On an agent run 
you can see this fact being overwritten to 'one/myfact' and then 'two/myfact' 
every single time.

This is horrible for usability because it's not clear which fact will be 
called, and it's a terrible waste of bandwidth, etc.
