Issue #2902 has been updated by Wolf Noble.

I'd like to be able to manage and work with/around files' extended attributes.. 
most especially mutability. if a file is immutable, and I've a need to update 
or change it, I'd like the ability to do so within a file resource. perhaps 
setting:
mutability => true (normal: would basically be an exec chattr -i if the file is 
immutable) 
mutability => false (immutable: would set the file to immutable when changed)
mutability => respect (default: whine when attempting to update/change/remove a 
file which is immutable with a reasonable error message) 

(or something)

Feature #2902: Check for immutable files managed by Puppet

Author: Brad Fowler
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal

Category: file
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.1
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Puppet should be able to override files it manages that are made immutable with 
chattr/chflags, perhaps by updating the File resource and determining what 
environment it's being run on.
