398223 - Bootstrap::Util should be a class

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

Right now Bootstrap::Util isn't a class, so it's a huge pain to do things like run shell commands or deal with anything that is, like Bootstrap::Config.

We should make Bootstrap::Util be a class, and move Bootstrap::Step::Shell(), Bootstrap::Config::GetFtpCandidatesDir(), etc. etc. into there.

Do we want to do this kind of structural overhaul on Bootstrap at this point. If we're not using it for anything new going forward I'm in favour of leaving it how it is.

Rob, what do you think?

As painful as it is for me, I must agree. It's not worth taking this kind of change at this point.
