Second stage:
|
||||||
|
- The "manifest" script of every used provider
|
||||||
|
(i.e. the manifests created at least one object)
|
||||||
|
is called, which again is able to call other
|
||||||
|
providers. All created objects may also be modified
|
||||||
|
by the provider.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For instance a "httpd" provider may call the
|
||||||
|
"webroot" provider with --path / ...
|
||||||
|
# FIND CASE WHERE SENSEFUL => look through
|
||||||
|
current puppet config
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The newly created objects are merged back into
|
||||||
|
the existing tree. No conflicts may occur during
|
||||||
|
the merge, because this would implicit that the
|
||||||
|
provider conflicts with other providers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The idea of this that a provider may expand another
|
||||||
|
provider with functionality, but may need to adjust
|
||||||
|
("overwrite") settings from the original provider.
