Jira (HI-374) configure hiera to work out of the box

[Mark Butcher (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Mark Butcher updated an issue   Hiera / HI-374 configure hiera to work out of the box Change By: Mark Butcher Presently, hiera is not configured to work out of the box with puppet for several reasons:  - hiera should be maintained as a standalone project - hiera requires a config file to be in place to start - we include the config file from the hiera project in the puppet package Leading to the following unfortunate results:  - the config file used by hiera after the puppet package is installed is not useful for configuring puppet, requiring upfront effort from users (pe or foss).  This also becomes a CS burden (captured in PE-894). - persistence of hiera.yaml customization is complicated by overwrites of hiera.yaml on package installation A potential two part solution would solve the problems above:  - [~josh] proposed a modification to hiera to allow it to run without a config file. - we could package a usable hiera.yaml.example file that could serve as a real world example for hiera-only users and a springboard for users of hiera with puppet.   Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346-sha1:dbc023d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
