Re: environment.conf should use standard syntax for POSIX and Windows Yep, moved to PUP and marked it as an Improvement idea. Thoughts on this suggestion, Henrik Lindberg or Ethan Brown?

Re: environment.conf should use standard syntax for POSIX and Windows

We could support only one of them (':' would be bad for Windows users, and ';' for Posix users) - we would need to deprecate "the other", and the annoy people with having to change. We could support both - which could potentially be somewhat confusing. No deprecation needed, it is simply a new feature per the respective platform. There is a small problem that paths can then not contain the "other delimiter" as part of a path (that is probably a very small problem). My vote goes to supporting both delimiters.

I also vote for supporting both delimiters.

Re: environment.conf should use standard syntax for POSIX and Windows The most common case is to use colon, which works as expected on POSIX. Would could accept colon (in addition to semicolon) when running on Windows. Colons could cause confusion for things like foo:bar as o:bar is the path bar relative to the current directory on drive o. Supporting semicolons (and colon) on POSIX seems pretty easy, we'd just need to split the modulepath on either [:;]. See Puppet::Node::Environment.split_path.
