order of handler

Hey,

i would like to discuss the idea of handler orders, because working with a lot of rules could be difficult (+handler definition order).

example:

  • role1

  • create share on windows host (notify: remove share)

  • role2

  • mount share (notify: unmount share)

  • create temp directory (notify: remove temp directory)

  • handler execution (current v1)

  • remove share

  • remove temp directory

  • unmount share- handler execution (current v2, switch 2+3, because of handler order within role)

  • remove share

  • unmount share

  • remove temp directory

  • handler execution (future)

  • remove temp directory

  • unmount share

  • remove share

Feedback appreciated:

maybe this will get into 2.2?
