[rudder-dev] Best Practises for writing techniques

[Michael Gliwinski]

Hi all,

I read the new Best Practices doc, looks fantastic, really like the file 
splitting convention :)

Also had a look at the sshConfiguration in master and can't wait to migrate to 
2.5 to use the new common reporting helpers :D

Also a couple of questions, just to better understand intentions, etc.

1. prefixing variables with "rudder_" or "rudder_<technique_name>_"; given 
that to reference variables from other bundles you have to do 
"rudder_<technique_name>_<action>.<variable>" anyway, is that necessary?

2. files convention section refers to bundle "run", is that just the main 
entry point bundle of a technique?

3. config.st:

3a. is the idea to aggregate various variables used within different bundles 
in a technique in one place?  (sounds neat)

3b. what is the best method to ensure it's included (reference from <BUNDLES> 
in metadata.xml, methods: in main.st, etc.)

3c. initial tests show it should be OK, but do you think there could be 
problems using those variables from other (e.g. associated) techniques?


Thanks for your fantastic work!

Michael
