Puppet users - Mar 2011 - Managing directories recursively and adjust subdirectories permissions?

Hello everybody,

I have a strange problem. I manage a directory recursively like this
(this part works).

class showcase {
  file { "/opt/files":
    ensure => directory,
    owner => "user",
    group => "group",
    recurse => true,
    source => "puppet:///showcase"
  }
}

Now, if I want to set permissions on directories included in "/opt/
files", for example "/opt/files/copied_from_master" like this...

class showcase {
  file { "/opt/files":
    ensure => directory,
    owner => "user",
    group => "group",
    recurse => true,
    source => "puppet:///showcase"
  }

 file { "/opt/files/copied_from_master":
  mode => 744,
  recurse => true
 }
}

...my first definition does not work anymore: no new files are copied
over to puppets and files are not updated when they change.

Any ideas on this? How can I do both, copy files recursively and then
change some subdirectory permissions?

Kind regards,
Maciej

I would like to add that I have no errors from puppetd when running it
in test mode, so that''s strange.

This, I believe (and I''m happy to be corrected), is due to the fix of
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2296

To stop things getting overwritten it prunes the path when it sees
overlaps.

You just need to specify:

file { "/opt/files/copied_from_master":
	source => "puppet:///showcase/copied_from_master"
	mode => 744,
	recurse => true
}

See if that sorts you out.
