Hi Aurelien, It'd be great to see these commands ported to 0.26.x. We're working on making this much easier, even, in 2.6.5, but there are a couple of bugs not fixed until then that make it harder in the current system. If you can test against 2.6.x, then a great place to start would be my Interfaces module: https://github.com/lak/puppet-interfaces With this, you can easily create 'diff' and 'list' actions on the 'file' command. I'm testing out a similar extension of functionality myself[1]. Here is an example action: https://github.com/lak/puppet-static-compiler/blob/master/lib/puppet/interface/file/store.rb Basically, you have a simple hook for creating/registering the action, then just have your code do what you want. Does that make sense? 1 - https://github.com/lak/puppet-static-compiler -- Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes. -- Henry David Thoreau --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies -|- http://puppetlabs.com -|- +1(615)594-8199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
