Issue #4984 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information
So the source for your recursive copy contains broken symlinks? I can think of a couple of options that really seem significantly better than using Puppet for recursive file copies. * package the files * make a tarball out of them, send the file to the client and unpack it there. I'm not entirely convinced about your actual feature request. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4984: Option to force broken symlinks OK in recurse https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4984 Author: Nathan Rich Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: We use exec and rsync for some of our recursive file copying. We may get package directories with thousands of files, which contain a program that works. All we need to do is copy them over to a machine for the machine to be able to run it. puppet file type will fail with these often, since they will have some broken links in them often times. we don't care about broken links at all, as the program still works. would be nice to be able to force puppet to do it 'anyways' -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
