This patch adds autoedges between users and groups, and extends
users with additional fields for supplementary groups and a named
primary group. Also, some small fixes to log and error messages.
This adds validation that ensures that Msg Priority field is one of the following values:
"Emerg", "Alert", "Crit", "Err", "Warning", "Notice", "Info", "Debug".
I previously broke the pkg auto edges because the package list wasn't
available by the time it was called. This fixes the pkg resource so that
it gets the necessary list of packages when needed. Since this means
that a possible failure could happen, we also update the AutoEdges API
to support errors. Errors can only be generated at AutoEdge struct
creation, once the struct has been returned (right before modification
of the graph structure) there is no possibility to return any errors.
It's important to remember that the AutoEdges stuff gets called because
the Init of each resource, so make sure it doesn't depend on anything
that happens there or that gets cached as a result of Init.
This is all much nicer now and has a test too :)
Now that we're using our meta wrapper graph struct instead of the
pgraph, we can re-implement our SetValue hacks in terms of struct fields
and the implementation is now cleaner.
This adds send/recv output parameters from exec for stdout, stderr, and
output which is a combination of those two. This also includes a few
tests, and a working example too!
Gone are the `some_command > some_file` days of puppet.
Since the pgraph graph can store arbitrary pointers, we don't need a
special method to create the vertices or edges as long as they implement
the String() string method. This cleans up the library and some of the
examples which I let rot previously.
This is something I've wanted to do for a while, but for the reasons
mentioned in the comments, I've been unable to complete yet. I figured
I'd at least merge what does exist so far in case someone else would
like to pick this up. It's a bit of a brain hurdle / monster, because
the tricky part is refactoring the core engine so that this fits in
nicely. Perhaps someone will have more time and/or less tunnel vision
than I to either merge something or sketch out some ideas on the path
forwards. I think it's a useful goal because if recursive resources are
possible, it could force the core engine into a more elegant design.
Happy hacking!
It's up to the end user to decide who is writing and/or overwriting
them.
It could also be useful to reimplement (refactor) some of the existing
World API's to be implemented in terms of these primitives.
This is required if we're going to have out of package resources. In
particular for third party packages, and also for if we decide to split
out each resource into a separate sub package.
This cleans up the API to not have a special case for etcd anymore. In
particular, this also adds the requirement that the GAPI must generate
an event on startup as soon as it is ready to generate a graph.
Avoid use of the reflect package, and use an extensible list of registred
resource kinds. This also has the benefit of removing the empty VirtRes and
AugeasRes struct types when compiling without libvirt and libaugeas.
