When is it acceptable to introduce an incompatible change to a type? Due to a change in Solaris zone creation, the use of the ip property has become ambiguous. Formerly you has to supply both interface name and ip address when you created a zone (separated by a ":"), but with zone exclusive IP stacks, you only have to supply the interface name (and then plumb the interface with an IP from within the zone).
Reusing the ip property in this case will be confusing, as it will only hold the interface name. I propose to extract the interface name from the ip property and use an interface property instead. This will break current configurations: 1) the ip property does not contain a valid ip address 2) the zone type does not contain an interface property So my question is: when is it acceptable to introduce this kind of change? cheers, /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
