way to manage haproxy package repository

[daks]

Hello,

at the moment, there is no way in the formula to specify from which repository Haproxy package must be installed. The only way is to extend the formula.

I think this is a standard need which can easily be added. I thought about two ways to do it:

• first one, simply adding a 'haproxy:fromrepo' pillar and in install.sls check if it exists and use it if it does
• second one, depending of the merge of Switching to map.jinja to define platform specific values #69, to add a default value in map.jinja and use it. Then allow overriding it with 'haproxy:lookup:fromrepo'

I prefer the second one, which I found prettier and cleanier, but I may not be totally partial :)

I would like to know what people think about it.

I'm not sure anymore what is the best solution. I checked some other formulas and few (if not none) implement this functionality in map.jinja, I don't know if they implement it another way.
