Puppet users - Aug 2010 - can checksum be set to none on a file if content is defined?

On a file resource, if the content parameter is set and checksum is
set to none, I am getting "Parameter content failed: Munging
failed..."

This appears to be a bug, but maybe I missed something in the
documentation and it isn''t supposed to work.

cat test.pp
file { "/tmp/foo":
        checksum => none,
        content  => "this is foo\n",
}

puppet test.pp --debug
debug: Failed to load library ''selinux'' for feature
''selinux''
Parameter content failed: Munging failed for value "this is foo\n" in
class content: undefined method `none'' for
#<Puppet::Type::File::Content:0x90212d8>

What are you trying to do?  You want it to create the file with that content if
the file doesn''t exist, but not change the file if the file exists but
doesn''t match?

if this is the behavior you want, try

  replace => false

That is the behavior I want, and I am actually using "replace =>
false" (though I didn''t in my example).  My only problem is that I
have nodes that run in noop mode, and even though the file doesn''t
change, they will complain that the checksum has changed eventually.
I think puppet "forgets" the checksum after a while, because the nodes
all start complaining at the same time.  If the behavior I want is not
possible, I will just turn off reporting for that resource.

I''m getting this too on 0.25.5 when a file does not yet exist, and when
I
don''t care about about md5 changes *after* the file has been created by
puppet

Like John, I don''t particularly care when the checksum changes, and
don''t
want it to appear in my noop reports

It is unclear from the 2.6.x release notes on how checksum has been reworked
if this has been resolved. Anyone have some experience with this?

Thanks

John
