Puppet users - Aug 2011 - Need feedback on Dashboard/filebucket interaction

Good people ~

We''re in an unfortunate situation with Dashboard, having to patch a
bug half-way for the Dashboard 1.2 release because we don''t have time
for a complete fix, and because a complete fix may require Puppet
changes.

Within Dashboard''s report interface we show links to the filebucket
even if we don''t have the file in question.  If there''s no
content, we
show an unhelpful error.  The silly part is that we can''t easily tell
if we have file content without asking filebucket directly, which
won''t scale.

We can address it in two ways:

1. Always show the links, just like we do now.  If there''s no content,
show a helpful error when the link is clicked.
2. Only show the links where we know we have content.  But in some
situations (e.g., a new file) content will be available, but we won''t
show a link.  This is because filebucket only works as a backup, not
as a cache for new content.

If this affects your life, or if you have an opinion, please comment
on the bug or reply here.  Thanks in advance.
