Why not just have a general caching system? How many catalogs do you want to preserve? 5
Fallback Catalog? 3 Fallback would be preserved outside of the 5 limit (so there would be 6 total if a fallback is assigned). In my mind, it's acting like a recovery installation for a router. Hit the magic button for 15 seconds (but not 30) and you go to the last known good configuration. However, I think that this sort of thing *must* be exportable for those of us with dreams of clustered puppetmasters. Perhaps it's just a directory structure with symlinks? Arbitrary labels would not be a bad thing with anything that is labeled being preserved indefinitely. I would suggest calling the arbitrary labels "tags". Then, you could do fancy things like: puppet catalog list - Catalog1 *current - Catalog2 - Catalog3 puppet catalog tag Catalog1 fallback - Catalog1 saved as 'fallback' puppet catalog tag Catalog3 bob - Catalog3 saved as 'bob' puppet catalog diff bob current - Use the magic catalog diff thing to output a diff in some format puppet catalog rm Catalog3 - Deleted saved catalog 'Catalog3' That's how it works in my head anyway....
