Looking for a path into the innards of the Puppet Firewall Module @ The Forge

[Dan White]

For a few reasons:

There is a missing bit of functionality that is important to me.
I know WHAT I want to fox, but I do not know HOW.

Also, if I am understanding how this module operates, I have ideas for other modules that use the same base methods.

So, I am looking for either the folks that wrote this module or someone who can help me understand it enough for me to make some enhancements to it myself.

Please help me help the Puppet community !

Thanks.

I recently submitted a pull request for a fairly basic feature.  I started out by editing spec/fixtures/iptables/conversion_hash.rb and spec/unit/puppet/type/firewall_spec.rb to add in tests for what I wanted then worked backwards from there by copying existing code, modifying it a bit and running until the tests passed.  I recommend it as a way of getting started!

Failing that if you visit irc.freenode.net/#puppet I'm in there as ashp and can attempt to answer specific questions about it.  I'll be the first to admit I have -no- idea what I'm doing but I stumbled through enough to add something so I might be able to help you go in the same direction.
