managing /etc/salt/minion directly from salt provision

[yee379]

i don't really like managing the minion configs as separate files via salt.minion_config. it makes me duplicate a bunch of data around for my vagrant environment. it also makes managing a large collection of vagrant boxes in (one) large testing environments rather cumbersome. how about being able to define it directly from the DSL? i was thinking something like:

vm.provision :salt do |salt|
  salt.minion = {
    'id' => 'my_vagrant.local',
    'file_roots" => {
      "my_env": [
        '/srv/salt/file_root',
      ]
    }
    ....
  }
end

or have salt.minion_config check the data type of it's argument (if string, then use file; otherwise if its a hash, then dump it out to the file)
