Feature: Allow to define a port range for custom_services

[gothicx]

It would be nice to have :-)

firewalld::custom_services:
xy-application:
short: 'xy-application'
description: 'XY Application'
port:
- port: 5000:5020
protocol: 'tcp'

Then it will detect there is a ":" or "-" in the port variable and create the xml service accordingly.

@gothicx How do you see this working? A separate entry for each member of the port range? A quick glance at http://www.firewalld.org/documentation/service/options.html doesn't show any native support for port ranges for custom services, unless I'm not seeing it...

@crayfishx There is no official support, the idea is to have an entry in the port entry that provides a range and then the ruby code will parse that and transform into separated ports at service xml level.

You specify "port: 5000:5020", but in xml it will translate to one port per line. You see?

    <port protocol="tcp" port="5000" />
    <port protocol="tcp" port="5001" />
    <port protocol="tcp" port="5002" />
     ....

The custom_service type already allows you to define multiple ports via a hash, so I guess we're not doing anything that different here, just allowing a short-hand expression in the way they are declared. This should be fairly easy to engineer.... Based on that, I think we can add this.

Thanks :-)
