Issue #5421 has been updated by Stefan Schulte. Branch set to https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/feature/2.7.x/5421
The patch just drops target in the autorequire array. And I am not aware of any other meaning for target than saying that the described file should be a symlink. I rebased the branch and added a test to ensure that both ways (target via target property or target via ensure property) do work. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5421: Fileresource: Link should autorequire target https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5421 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Stefan Schulte Category: file Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/feature/2.7.x/5421 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']`.
