Issue #1701 has been updated by luke.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information

Note that doing this, given the current limitations of Puppet's uniqueness 
requirements, would mean that you couldn't use two separate statements to 
manage the files and directories -- you could manage one but not the other.

Feature #1701: File type should be configurable to affect only files, or only 
directories, or both
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1701

Author: ohookins
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 


Currently the file type will affect files and directories indeterminately, 
(e.g. if setting permissions recursively).

If you wish to set permissions on files differently to that of sub-directories 
you are out of luck. For example you may want all files in a directory to have 
0400 permissions, but currently that will set sub-directories to 0500 but that 
may not be desirable (you may still want write access to those sub-directories).

I propose the file type take an additional parameter, something like "affects":

affects => directories # only directories
affects => files # only files
affects => both # files and directories - this would be the default

This feature request was split out of #1668 on Luke's request.
