Jira (PUP-5699) Inline symlink metadata

[William Hopper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

William Hopper commented on PUP-5699   Re: Inline symlink metadata The following is the current behavior of links in a bunch of different scenarios. I went through to make sure that the proposed change in my PR doesn't alter any behavior. Also checked the catalog in cases where links => manage and source => <link> to verify that the resource has an inlined target rather than the original source from the manifest. These would probably be good things to verify in functional review as well. /tmp/real_file # A regular file /tmp/link_file -> /tmp/real_file # Link to real file The master has: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/ntp/files/foo_real_file # a regular file /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/ntp/files/foo_link_file - > foo_real_file # link to foo_real_file Scenario Current Behavior Inlined Behavior file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => manage, source => ‘file:///tmp/real_file’, } a_file is a real file with copied contents of real_file a_file is a real file with copied contents of real_file file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => manage, source => ‘file:///tmp/link_file’, } a_file is a link and points to the same file that link_file does (Same if ensure => file) a_file is a link to the same file that link_file does (same if ensure => file) file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => follow, source => ‘file:///tmp/real_file’, } a_file is a real file with copied contents of real_file a_file is a real file with copied contents of real_file file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => follow, source => ‘file:///tmp/link_file’, } a_file is a real file with copied content of the thing link_file points to a_file is a real file with copied contents of whatever link_file points to ile { ‘/tmp/a_dir’: ensure => directory, source => ‘file:///tmp/link_dir’, links => manage } a_dir is a link to whatever link_dir is pointing to a_dir is a link to whatever link_dir is pointing to file { ‘/tmp/a_dir’: ensure => directory, source => ‘file:///tmp/real_dir’, links => manage } a_dir is a real directory a_dir is a real directory file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => manage, source => 'puppet:///modules/ntp/foo_link_file', } a_file is a link to whatever foo_link_file points to (and is a broken symlink on the agent) a_file is a broken symlink to whatever foo_link_file points to file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => manage, source => 'puppet:///modules/ntp/foo_real_file', } a_file is a real file with copied contents of foo_real_file a_file is a real file with copied contents of foo_real_file file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => follow, source => 'puppet:///modules/ntp/foo_link_file', } a_file is a real file with copied contents of whatever foo_link_file points to a_file is a real file with copied contents of whatever foo_link_file points to file { '/tmp/a_file': ensure => link, links => follow, source => 'puppet:///modules/ntp/foo_real_file', } a_file is a real file with copied contents of foo_real_file a_file is a real file with copied contents of foo_real_file Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.12#64027-sha1:e3691cc) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
