Comment 3 for bug 815208

Hi Eoghan!

So, I think that your proposal has some merit. However, I think that there are two things that need to be addressed (perhaps as separate bugs):

1) (this bug) Separating paste-deploy stuff from the regular configuration option files
2) Making it easier for newbies to understand the different ways to set up filters and middleware

I think fixing #1 would be a good first step. For the second, I could see using your solution here (using configuration option to driver the picking of a deployment pipeline), or instead having multiple well-commented paste.ini files in /etc that showed examples of configuring the pipelines for different needs.

For instance, etc/paste/ could contain:

etc/paste/glance-api-minimal-paste.ini
etc/paste/glance-api-auth-no-cache-paste.ini
etc/paste/glance-api-auth-cache-paste.ini

Each showing examples of how to configure the filter and middleware pipelines?
