Have you planned to make ext files/all config files manageable? about puppet-dovecot HOT 9 CLOSED

I thought about using dovecot::extconfigs for both, probably with the path relative to ${dovecot::config_path} as key

#7 (comment)

I would instead provide a simple file wrapper that notifies the dovecot service, and on top of that a type that takes a key-value hash and renders it with a template.

do i understand you right, that you are planning to add this feature? will you add some kind of hiera wrapper to handle this config files as easy as the current config?

from puppet-dovecot.

I had no immediate plans initially, but I will try to whip something up today. Of course it will be accessible using hiera, but most likely on a different key, not the main dovecot::configs key

most likely on a different key, not the main dovecot::configs key which of course makes much more sense. i just made a quickfix to get this mailserver up and running again.

would you handle the ext files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d different from them located in /etc/dovecot (same key/different keys)?

from puppet-dovecot.

sounds good. both ways (shared and seperate keys) look fine for me as you are providing a very good drop in example in your readme.

does it make sense to allow an absolute path? i am thinking about the ability to put config files on locations an operator want without opening a ticket or a pull request (just thoughts)

and by the way: thank you for your work and your awesome lib. /cheer

After looking into it more closely, I'd say that supporting .conf.ext files in conf.d does not really make sense at all. The example-config uses them to easily provide multiple options the user can choose one from, but this is not required in a puppet setup, where you explicitly list all your configuration.
