Package: cfengine2
Version: 2.2.8-1
Severity: normal
The edifile doesn't update the mtime field. The result is that
BeginGroupIfFileIsNewer is always executed as the other file is always
newer.
For example the following sample will edit the file each time
copy:
any::
/var/lib/cfengine2/inputs/repo/debian/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dest=/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate
r=inf
mode=600
owner=root
server=$(serveurref)
editfiles:
any::
{ /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
BeginGroupIfFileIsNewer
"/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
EmptyEntireFilePlease
InsertLine "#generated based on
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
InsertFile
"/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
ExpandVariables
DefineInGroup "exim4_modified"
EndGroup
The expected behavior is that the edit file is only executed if I change the
/var/lib/cfengine2/inputs/repo/debian/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf in my
repository
