Director-Basket(s) - Recommended way to update?

[skupfer]

Hey there

I am currently wrapping my head around a way to properly apply updates once new plugins drop. In ICINGA.rst a way to restore a single basket/plugin or the full basket is being described.

Initially my plan was to have a pull mirror from this repo and checkout a version for use in ansible (deploying the icons is another thing). I created another repo which holds my plugins etc. because of the pull mirror, which I merge with the help of your tools (some new, some modified to allow custom locations) into the initial basket.

Now comes the problem with an example. I might be using it wrong but with i.e. Kernel Ring Buffer I noticed the same errors over all vms related to sda/sdb/... (which are no errors) so I added more ignores to the tpl-service-dmesg but those get overwritten on a restore (for sure). I could add it to the ServiceSet's service instead, i.e. OS - Ubuntu 22 Basic Service Set -> Services -> Kernel Ring Buffer (dmesg) but this gets overwritten, too if I import all-the-rest again.

What do you recommend to retain custom changes while keeping full compatibility to your baskets? I thought about adding an extend-method to my modified basket-join (similar to check2basket overwrite) which would allow me to keep custom changes to plugins/all-the-rest separated. But maybe I am just adding the needed ignores in the wrong place.
