I was trying to use defnode as a simple way to declare state idempotently, and defnode seems to be the ticket. let's say I wanted to add a new entry in /etc/services
defnode svc '/files/etc/services/service-name[. = "foo" and protocol = "tcp"]' foo set $svc/port 4711 set $svc/protocol tcp this works fine for known services, but when adding a new entry, it fails. Augeas creates the new node and initialises it to the value "foo", but the $svc can't be used. augtool> print /files/etc/services/service-name[last()] /files/etc/services/service-name[10313] = "foo" # notice port and protocol are missing from the print-out, although # they were set without complaint above. augtool> set $svc "bar" Failed I tried to look at it in GDB without reaching enlightenment :-) $svc is added to the symbol table, but I think the problem is that the new node isn't added to the nodeset it refers to. just rerunning the defnode won't help, since the new node doesn't actually match... -- Kjetil T.
