Issue #86 has been updated by Thomas Bellman.
File dirs_between.rb added
A better way than just saying 'create_parents => true', would be
'parents_upto => "/some/very"', and having that be exactly equivalent
to explicitly specifying every path inbetween "/some/very" and
"/some/very/long/path" as file resources with the same parameters.
A slightly different way of achieving this would be to have a function
dirs_between() that takes a directory and a subdirectory as arguments
and returns a list of all directories inbetween, including the two
endpoints. dirs_between("/some/very", "long/path") would return the
list ["/some/very", "/some/very/long", "/some/very/long/path"].
One would then use that like
<pre>
$dirs = dirs_between("/some/very", "long/path")
file {
$dirs:
ensure => directory, owner => "someuser", mode => 0755;
}
</pre>
(It would be nice to be able to have the dirs_between() call directly
in the file declaration, and not have the temporary variable $dirs,
but at least 0.25.0rc1 barfs on that.)
I'm attaching a quick and dirty implementation of dirs_between(). It
is sorely lacking in error handling, but seems to work as long as you
don't pass it bad parameters.
