Puppet users - Jan 2009 - Need onlyifnot (or something) for Augeas

There is, as far as I can tell, no way to make Augeas *not* do
anything if a node exists.  What I want is for the Augeas block to
be skipped if the augtool command

    match /files/etc/exports/dir /foo
    
would return true.  Since I don''t know which dir number it''ll
be, I
can''t use get, and 

    onlyif => "match dir include /foo"

does exactly the opposite of what I want.

for exec there is unless, this might be the right term?

However "unless" is not (yet) a metaparameter and therefore needs to
be
implemented.
Maybe you find an idea how to do it, by looking at the onlyif and unless
in the exec-type.

I think if the options you have with onlyif aren''t satisfying every and
in this case your situation, patches would be welcomed for an unless
parameter.

cheers pete
