Issue #5421 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
I implemented the autorequire. You can see it in my branch * https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/feature/next/5421 * https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/commit/09bec5b4272d429f3c1a527f64610f5161536f38 I don't know if this patch has any impact if you are managing links recursive, because I never used that feature. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5421: Fileresource: Link should autorequire target https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5421 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: When you manage links with puppet it's possible that you have to define explicit requires. Example: file { '/foo/bar': ensure => directory, } file { '/link': ensure => link, target => '/foo/bar', } This works, because you can create a dead link. But if you now do file { '/link/i_dont_care_it_was_a_link': ensure => file, } this fileresource does autorequire the link, but you cannot be sure, that the target exists. I would like that `File['/link']` autorequires `File['/foo/bar']`.
