jimbakerniemeyer, glad to see the expose services spec has been approved. it was a good process16:02
niemeyerjimbaker: Indeed16:03
niemeyerjimbaker: Great spec16:03

jimbakerhazmat, bcsaller - based on other conversations, i assume you're ok with merging my expose-services branch into trunk. if so, could you please explicitly approve the branch at https://code.launchpad.net/~jimbaker/ensemble/expose-services ? thanks16:50
hazmatjimbaker, i'm having a last look over it now16:51
jimbakerhazmat, sounds good16:52
hazmatjimbaker, +1.. one minor thing.. the ``exposed`` and ``unexposed`` hooks section doesn't have its __ covering the entire statement for valid rst output16:56
jimbaker hazmat, actually rst is fine with that (otherwise it would have been obvious earlier), but it's definitely sloppy. thanks for pointing that out16:58
hazmatjimbaker, cool, i've had it barf on me in those cases before, the spec contents looks good though16:59
_mup_ensemble/expose-services r197 committed by jim.baker@canonical.com16:59
_mup_Fixed section heading for exposed/unexposed hooks16:59
SpamapSexposed hooks?17:17
SpamapShave you guys gone and changed everything?17:17
jimbakerSpamapS, not too much :)17:18
jimbakerSpamapS, an exposed hook runs upon a service being exposed, so it's just a way for a formula to respond (if at all, now that hooks are optional)17:19
SpamapSis this the implementation of the "virtual formula" idea?17:20
jimbakerSpamapS, no17:20
* SpamapS has had *zero* time to look at anything you guys have done :-/17:20
jimbakerSpamapS, it's just supporting the ability for a service to expose it ports publicly. it's not ok for our machine instances to have an open firewall policy17:21
SpamapSSure it is. I think its very dangerous for ensemble to make decisions for formula writers.17:23
jimbakerat some point, it was leaning to have more support for formulas being able to do machine configuration, but we decided this was too big of a change - at least as it would have meant for this particular case17:23
SpamapSYou saw my idea for machine config right? Just merge formulas with policy formulas.17:24
jimbakerSpamapS, yes, i saw that. in comparison, this is a very narrow change17:24
SpamapSI'm fairly certain that people will hand-merge formulas in their environment to achieve the same thing17:24
jimbakerthe problem with the exposer service idea is that it would have allowed it to be in a relation with any service. this seemed to be too loose17:25
jimbakerbut other policy formulas might work out to be better17:26
SpamapSfirewall was one of the first things I thought of, and the idea of a standard relation thats always available of 'exposed' is quite cool to me17:27
jimbakeri agree with the general attractiveness. however, in general, it can be easier to reason about and implement systems without that quality. or potentially even use them. and i think that's the case here17:30
niemeyerSpamapS: The expose feature is pretty simple for the moment, purposefully.. it's just a way for the formula author to let Ensemble know of which port it would like to open for the external world to use17:32
SpamapSniemeyer: yeah thats cool. I'm concerned that ensemble is going to try and figure out how to implement firewalls tho.. 17:38
SpamapSIts like putting apparmor inside dpkg17:38
niemeyerSpamapS: Not implementing, but configuring.  We can't avoid that.17:38
niemeyerSpamapS: dpkg isn't great at configuring things so they can run out of the box.  That's one of the reasons why Ensemble exists at all.17:40
jimbakerbcsaller, please take a look at https://code.launchpad.net/~jimbaker/ensemble/expose-services if you're now +1 on this branch17:45

jimbakerkapil_, i got one of those so far19:14

hazmatinteresting.. http://melor.github.com/poni/19:19
SpamapSniemeyer: right. I think Ensemble's job is to enable configuration. Not to do it.19:43
niemeyerSpamapS: That's exactly what we're doing.19:44
SpamapSI thought so.. but my fear was that it would be built in or something.19:45
SpamapSrather than just a default recommended formula that is easy to replace.19:45
niemeyerSpamapS: We're solving a real problem in a simple way so that we can move forward.  Any suggestions on how to do this in a different way with similar effort will be welcome.19:47
SpamapSniemeyer: I have no suggestions, and no time, so please pardon my interruption. :)19:50
niemeyerSpamapS: No problem.. I don't want to discourage you, but we've debated several approaches, faced problems in many of them, and opted for the current one with some ground.19:51
niemeyerSpamapS: It's fully documented in the specification which is http://j.mp/ensemble-docs 19:51
niemeyerSpamapS: Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome, but we need more concrete feedback to be able to act on it19:51
SpamapSYeah, I have some major platform stuff to tend to the next 10 days.. but I hope to get some time to play with Ubuntu around 4/1819:52
