Open Stack

Hi, 

openstack-infra/puppet-jenkins holds a default file with the configuration 
of jenkins master (/etc/default/jenkins).
Many times, this file needs to be customized in order to fit downstream 
projects.
For example, one of the attributes in this file is the heap size assigned 
to JAVA. By default it is 12G which only large busy sites will need.
Customization of this file by downstream can be done by either using a 
different default file or alternatively we can turn this file into a 
puppet template that can be used dynamically.
Each option has its own cons & pros.
For example: It is simpler to use different file, but this option is not 
good for a project with multiple jenkins masters each with different 
system resources.
According to Yolanda, discussion about passing an external file Vs 
customizing the default file in a template, took place in the past.
I would like to get a feedback and information from people who were 
involved in this discussion in order to figure out what is the preferred 
solution in this case.

Thanks,

Isaac Beckman
