Hi Steve,
I had this itch, too. I put a recipe on the wiki that takes hosts
files, one
host by line. I tried to mimic the file format from 'dsh' so I can
share the
configuration files.
http://wiki.fabfile.org/Recipes#Load_hosts_from_a_file
Usage, assuming we have a file '~/.dsh/group/prod':
fab hostsfile:prod ls
Please note that I'm using Fabric 0.0.9, maybe you need to change
something.
Jordi, thanks for that, didn't see it on the wiki. Funny thing is the
config handling that already exists in Fabric does almost exactly the
same thing; I'll have to look and see what's different.
It might be worth adding a --hosts parameter for adding a file for
just adding hosts with some special handling about not overwriting
what's in the current list i.e. making them additive.
Jeff -- what about adding some special handling for --hosts files?
Seems like a _very_ common use-case and would be a piece of cake to
implement either modifying the existing handler or using Jordi's code
if it actually does something different.
I know...push it off for 1.0 but that's not to say it couldn't remain
an 'undocumented but incredibly useful' feature in the next release.
I'll make the doc a .hidden file ;-).
Thanks,
S
