Thanks for the feedback, everyone - I've incorporated as much as I could into the doc and have a PR against the Puppet-RFC repo with the draft content. Please continue to post questions/comments on this thread.
John -- I think the comments on your HOCON question were constructive, but I fear they were not convincing. I looked back through the archives and realized that all of the discussions (which were, as Ryan W noted in the comment, pretty heated) about the introduction of that format happened on internal lists. This was wrong, and I now have a TODO item to more clearly describe the rationale behind and support statements for the use of Hocon around Puppet's ecosystem. --eric0 On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 5:42:50 PM UTC-7, Eric Sorenson wrote: > > Hey all, I completed this write-up, any comments/feedback appreciated. > > > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xlj0NYESLHNv5ZO_NJ-1fCssAWzaHsTZIhyaK3uzHQY/edit# > > I also put a PR against the puppet-specifications repo showing the > filesystem locations in case it's easier for you to visualize this way: > > https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-specifications/pull/79 > > Fire away... > --eric0 > > On Tuesday, March 1, 2016 at 10:52:12 AM UTC-8, Eric Sorenson wrote: >> >> I've been thinking about a config file for Facter, which has historically >> not been run-time configurable. >> >> The two problems in front of me that seem applicable are: >> >> * Sometimes, certain facts are just plain bad to collect and users would >> like to prevent them from even being resolved (see FACT-718, FACT-449, ). >> * Some facts are not inherently bad but _are_ expensive and/or change >> infrequently, so preventing them from being resolved every time would be >> beneficial (FACT-348) >> >> Are there other problems you're running into in this area that you'd like >> to see addressed with a "facter.conf"?
