<opinion> I think this is dangerous, particularly if you have more than one admin involved in your cfengine policy. Once your collection of input files grows past a certain size, these global declarations almost always start to interact with your configuration in unforeseen ways. I would recommend using ignore=.svn in the copy statement. It is easier to read, and will be safer in the long term. </opinion> Best, Brendan -- Senior System Administrator The University of Chicago Department of Computer Science http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/people/brendan http://praksys.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
