I personally think that data binding for defined types would be incredibly useful. I presently have to deal with the situation by declaring them via my ENC (smart parameters in Foreman). However, why not make data bindings completely orthogonal by extending it to all resource types? I realize that's taking things pretty far into the meta realm but my impression is that there are already a fair number of folks using stub classes to realize resources defined as hiera data already. -Josh -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
