Issue #2092 has been updated by luke. Status changed from Needs design decision to Rejected
I think the right option here is provide better features for supporting dist and site module repositories, rather than make it less clear when a source file is used or not. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2092: make source in file type optional if specified http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2092 Author: lludwig Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: luke Category: fileserving Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Currently the file type will try to install a file based upon the source attribute, if no file is found error out. My suggestion is create an new attribute or add to 'sourceselect' => optional so if no file is found just exit out, no error. This gives the option of not forcing a file to exist. There are situations where the file could does not have to exist, but in other cases the file should be configured per the source attribute. Use case. I'm creating an openldap module. In my case I don't want to set the ldap.conf file but a possible client wanting to use Puppet wants a specific ldap.conf file pulled from the puppetmaster. If this option was available it would allow for both situations without any modification to Puppet code. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
