This is a type and a provider for managing sudoers file.
-It still has a lot of issues open, but it should be in a consumable state.
+It seems to work pretty well.
lots of examples of usage can be found in the tests directory. The type also has rdocs.
TODO(stuff that I will fix before 0.1 release)
- 1. A userspec record that starts with Defaults will be parsed as a default. (this may not be resonable to fix)
+ 1. A user spec record that starts with Defaults will be parsed as a default. (this may not be resonable to fix)
2. I can probably set up autorequires on aliases in User Spec line, but this order would only be followed if both records were created.
- 3. A namevar cannot switch between types
- this wound up being too hard to implement.
- - only uses properties from the parsedrecord
+ 3. A record (as determined by NAMEVAR) cannot switch between types. Currently throws an exception.
4 Can't log flush or to_line events because they occur too often (working on this per issue with parsedfile).
LIMITATIONS (things I will not fix soon):
1. No support for parsing multi-line files (with \). I may add this in the next revision.
- 2. Forced to use comments to specify NAMEVARS. This means that there is no
+ 2. Forced to use comments to specify NAMEVAR for user specs. This means that there is no
way to determine if an added line is the same as an existing line.
- 3. Dependencies are only aplied between records at creation time. It is not possible to insert a new record before an existing one. There is probably a good way to fix this, but I need more time to look into it. Currently discussing with dev, this will require a feature request in parsedfile??

4. Performance issue with parsedfile- seems to be runing to_line way too many times, also flushing way too often

-COMMENT NAMEVARS:
-
-I have chosen (or been forced to) implement NAMEVARS using comments. This adds a ton of complexity to the code and its usage. This also means that identical lines will be allowed provided that they have the same namevar.
-
-I have to do this dirty pre-line stuff for user_spec.
- I had considered requiring uniqueness for the user-spec
- this does when considering that an alias can also be a user spec user, this violates uniqueness.
