Description

This is a subtask of #2424, and it's aim is to avoid having several identical sections in a multi-valued sectioned PI. It must be fixed on the 2.3 branch.

Specifications:
  • When saving a PI in the Scala code of rudder, for each multi-valued section in that PI's PT, check if any two sections contain identical configuration
  • Sections containing identical configuration are defined as having all the variables (mandatory and optional) with the same values exactly (case sensitive)
  • If any two values of section are identical, silently drop one so that the saved PI has only unique section values
  • If an existing PI is saved with no changes compared to the currently saved state, this check should still be performed, to make sure we can easily remove duplicates in existing PI

Trying this correction on Package management works great, however on download a file from the shared folder, it prevents me from saving a new section (even if it is vastly different, the new one are dropped at savetime)

This looks good to me.

I note that the type of variables is not taken into account when comparing (ie, the integer 0120 is considered different from the integer 120). But I don't think that this denatures the original purpose of this user story, and I'm told it's not trivial to change :)
