Bug #3453: puppet client silently ignores symlinks
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3453

Author: Nick Moffitt
Status: Needs more information
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: file
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


While going through an example that generates /etc/motd from a template, I 
noticed that it was giving me no feedback other than that it was applying a 
configuration version, and that my motd was not changing.  Upon running debug, 
I noticed:

        debug:  //File[/etc/motd]/checksum: Not checksumming symlink

Because on Ubuntu systems the motd is a symlink to /var/run/motd (which 
includes status information about your system's updates etc).


This caught me completely by surprise, and at least some better reporting of 
the sudden noop would be helpful here.
