Hi,
I am using puppet 2.6.2 and stepped over a situation, I cannot explain
to myself. So here is the deal:
- I want to source several directories and files one time to a client
- with the first puppet run, puppet should copy the files and
directories to the client to the specified location
- if files are changed in their content, puppet does not replace them
Up to this point everything works fine, but here comes the problem:
- if files are deleted, puppet "restores" them and copies them back
from the master
And thats what I do not want, I have tried several things but did not
get the trick how to prevent puppet from being so thoughtful. Can
anyone give me a hint how to stop puppet from replacing deleted files?
Here is my puppet construct:
file { "/oracle/files/":
source => "puppet:///modules/oracle_prereq/ORACLE_BASE",
ensure => "directory",
recurse => "true",
replace => "false",
checksum => "none",
}
I think one problem might be the checksums, I have no clue how to
prevent puppet from checkuming those files!

You should propably package these files. Then you will not have this problem. The replace option for the file type is NOT intended for what you are trying. Regards, Stefan.

"Remembering" that it copied the file just isn''t part of puppet''s model. In puppet''s case, "replace" means, do not change the content of an existing file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
