Alex Heneveld commented on WHIRR-385:
-------------------------------------
Re (2) I'm cool with skipping the symbolic role names if we don't need to list
or set up differently-properties instances of the same service. They can always
be added in without an API change. Relevant example config then looks like:
{noformat}
ntp::server.ntp_sources="0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org"
ntp.ntpServerList=127.0.0.1
whirr.instance-templates=1 puppet:ntp::server+puppet:ntp
{noformat}
I've started looking at supporting the : syntax inside roles; more on this to
follow.
Re (3) again I'm all for simplifying so long as result remains useful (and can
be extended). One directory or git, not multiple paths until we need (and we'll
deal with the multiple properties or path-sep char/syntax then).
*roles-based node default switch*: I like this, the more I understand it. Any
objections to going this route? I presume the node def switch statement just
lives in {{manifests/site.pp}}. I will have a look at how to pass in roles /
read them from a file.
If we go this route would it be reasonable to have a single
{{puppet.modulepath}} property from the config? Or do you need to be able to
specify a different path per-module?

> As a user of Whirr, I'd like to be able to use puppet scripts (manifests,
