Issue #2212 has been reported by harisekhon. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2212: Purging directory contents, excluding files from other puppet resources or specified subdirectories http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2212
Author: harisekhon Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: file Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: I would really like the ability to tell a directory to purge anything inside that is not specified as another puppet resource elsewhere with the option to exclude certain files or subdirectories from being removed. This is the only way to make sure that the end effect is truly the same as the manifest policy dictates. One obvious usage case would be a chroot jail. You can manage the jail from puppet, but it will only manage the bits of the jail you've specified. If a lesser administrator comes along and makes a mistake by adding something or leaving something he shouldn't in the jail, then puppet would not currently be able to help and the reality would drift away from the puppet manifest without any resolution unless another administrator noticed (which he probably wouldn't since he expects things to be fixed by the policies he wrote). Perhaps this is already possible but it doesn't seem so from the documentation...? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
