This has been discussed a bit internally, but I wanted to post it here to see if it helped anyone else.
After discussing with Paul, I think the Indirector should be refactored slightly to make configuration a bit easier to control and much more obvious. Specifically, I want to extract the main interface methods and configuration aspects into a Route class, leaving Indirection for just Terminus registration. Here's the commit log for the first bit: The primary goal here is to allow non-global configurations of Indirector endpoints. The previous behavior still works fine: Catalog.find Node.find ... But now you can do this: route = Puppet::Indirector::Route.new(:catalog) route.terminus_class = :yaml route.find And it will use your configuration rather than the global. This should provide far more flexibility in the different applications, and quite likely a lot more clarity as to how the indirector works, while still providing reasonable global behavior when people want it. ----- I've published the code in my prototype/master/indirector_with_routes branch. If there are no disagreements conceptually, I'll open this as a refactor ticket. -- The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep. --Alan Patrick Herbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies -|- http://puppetlabs.com -|- +1(615)594-8199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
