Jira (HI-490) Location of hiera.yaml in puppet-agent 1.x is a mistake

[Nick Walker (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Nick Walker commented on HI-490   Re: Location of hiera.yaml in puppet-agent 1.x is a mistake Can someone describe the following items for me? Preferably in the current state and the proposed state. 1. Where does the puppet-agent package lay down hiera.yaml? 2. Where is hiera_config configured to look for hiera.yaml by default in puppet? 3. Where does the hiera CLI tool look for hiera.yaml by default? My understanding of the proposal is: 1. To have the puppet-agent package lay down hiera.yaml in $confdir instead of $codedir 2. To have hiera_config look for hiera.yaml in $confdir instead of $codedir 3. TO have hiera CLI look for hiera.yaml in $confdir instead of $codedir However, Henrik Lindberg proposed a changed to the behavior of the hiera_config setting in puppet and the hiera CLI to look in the $confidir first and then fall back to $codedir if a file does not exist in $confdir. The only part I don't understand about that proposal is where packaging will put hiera.yaml because if it puts a default into $confdir then the fallback logic will not have its intended use. Will packaging have to check for an existing file and decide what to do from there?
