I totally agree we should be able to sync them somehow… but I note we’ve just committed a change to only pluginsync .rb files…

Your talking about #4135? It will still sync other files – just won’t load them. This is definitely a precursor to this ticket (hence why its on the dependency list). So its all good :–).

it would be good to find some way to have the ability to copy some files to only some hosts from pluginsync. for facts created with yaml/json that would be needed.

Hrm. Now that’s a little more problematic…

RI, do you think a client-side filter is sufficient or does this control need to be mandated centrally?

I know, I consider it a personal challenge to keep your life interesting :P

hmm, i can’t think of a reason client side wouldnt be ok right now, but will give it some more thought – however imagine a big site with lots of facts unique to hsots etc, we could be doing a lot of file copies down to the client – and file copies are slow as heck.
