Puppet

Hi,

I think it would be really nice if there was an automagic code formatter for .pp files.

We did some go programming lately and one of the things that turned out to be the thing we liked the most was gofmt. We stopped mucking over styles and everybody could just (once and for all) configure his favorite editor to display “the one correct way” (which isn’t necessarily the same as the output gofmt produces).

It makes no difference what the preferences are (tabs vs. spaces, 2 vs. 4 vs. 8 — but who likes tabs anyway :)). The authoritative answer is whatever the output from gofmt is.

Please please,

• puppet format somefile.pp — outputs to stdout
• puppet format -w somefile.pp — rewrites the file

thanks,
Martin
