User story #3448: Improve perfs for manageFileAndFolder
Put data in an external file for manageFileAndFolder
Added by Nicolas CHARLES over 11 years ago.

Description
We need to put data in an external file for manageFileAndFolder
Caution, all data cannot be read from an external file (typically commands) for they may contains parsing char, or even have variable that wouldn't be expanded

I seem to recall that this has an undesirable side effect, making it impossible to use variables in any of the parameters here.
What shall we conclude? Should we reject this?
- Target version changed from 2.4.8 to 2.4.9

Hum, indeed there is the expansion problem, preventing to use CFEngine variables.
In this pull request, the fields at risks, read in external files, are:
FILE_AND_FOLDER_MANAGEMENT_PATH
FILE_AND_FOLDER_MANAGEMENT_OWNER
FILE_AND_FOLDER_MANAGEMENT_GROUP
FILE_AND_FOLDER_DELETION_DAYS
Removing these 4 would leave only 5 parameters in the external file, so it's probably not worth the pain
I'm closing the PR at least. Should we reject this ticket ?
well no, I'm not closing the PR, if the ticket is not rejected I'll reuse it
- Status changed from Discussion to Rejected
Yes, let's reject this. I don't think the tradeoff is worth it - being fast is good, but it's no use if we can't do flexible and easy configuration, that's what Rudder's all about.
- Tracker changed from Enhancement to User story
