find a way to translate exports and imports #4

First, understand the differences between exports as seen by puppet vs. mgmt.

Then, see if and how exports are even represented in the compiled catalog.

Finally, if possible, see how the translation can be implemented.

Hi @ffrank Can you elaborate a bit, since my brain is tired and I'm having trouble reading into what you're asking for... Are you asking about exported resources?

(or alternatively is this a private memo for yourself?)

It is kind of a "note to self", but by all means, if you can expand on the export concept in mgmt and how it compares to that in puppet, that would be swell!

It's fairly primitive at the moment in terms of functionality, on the other hand this is because it hasn't been fully written yet since it will depend on the DSL. The good news is that it already responds to events, which makes it effectively instant, where as with puppet you need to wait for another run.

After putting some more thought into this, it's probably not a good fit after all. Virtual (and exported) resources likely do not become part of the RAL graph, which serves as the basis for translation.

Dropping this one for now.
