Re: [Puppet Users] Deployed but unmanaged file

I''ve long wanted the equivalent of a "conffile" in Puppet.

e.g. "replace this file if it''s still the same as the one Puppet
put down,
but if it''s been modified from the default, don''t replace
it"

I''ve wanted this in the past for things like a user .rc file, where you
want
to be able to continually update the default, but not throw away any
customization the user may have done.
