Hi everyone,
Following the discussion thread and seeing that there's no more input there, I'd like to propose this style guide:
http://www.ovirt.org/Bash_style_guide
As standard for our infrastructure scripts and guideline when reviewing scripts.
All the infra members please review the style guide and answer this email with your vote (+1 I like it, 0 I don't mind, -1 It has to change), if -1, add also a description of the problems you see so we can work on them.
Hi David First of all thanks for your efforts in writing that, I am certainly for standards. However, I feel that we have to decide what kind of scripts we want to write. Alon (Bar Lev), for example , is for removing what he is calling 'bashisem' from the infra code, lately we had turned all dbscripts/dbutils code from bash to POSIX. So, I think that we should decide first on the direction ('to bash or not to bash, this is the question') Otherwise, we are left with a bunch of scripts, each written differently, and even if each has its code style guidelines, I believe that it makes our development environment harder to maintain and more buggy ...
All the non-infra people, you are welcome to vote also and give input, but your single vote will not be decisive.
I'll close the voting next monday if no changes to the Style guide are proposed.
Thanks!
