Puppet users - Sep 2009 - /etc puppet or some of the directories can't be symlinks.

For development purposes I have set up /etc/puppet to be a symlink to
/home/me/puppet/etc.

Every time I run puppetmasterd the link id destroyes and the directory
gets created from scratch.

This also happens if I create a /etc/puppet and create symlinks for
the manifests directory

So far it hasn''t happened for the modules, plugins, files or templates
directories.

This is the same kind of behavior described in bug
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/750 which was closed two
years ago!

I am running puppet 2.5 which was released a couple of days ago.

Is this really that big of a deal?  You can use puppet.conf to  
configure where the directories will be, so at worst you have a single  
file in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, or you can start your daemons with -- 
config /my/puppet.conf.

No it''s not a big deal and I have done just that.

I just wanted to report it in case somebody else runs into it.

Indeed it''s not a problem but more like a surprising behaviour. 
I''ve run into
that myself a while back.
