Moving to 2.7.x ---------------------------------------- Bug #6809: Ignore "links => follow" when managing symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6809 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: It doesn't make sense to set "links => follow" inside a symlink resource. We're not managing content, and you end up with edge cases like this: <pre> file { "/tmp/foo": ensure => directory } file { "/tmp/bar": ensure => "/tmp/foo", links => follow } </pre> <pre> kripke:~ nbk$ puppet -v /tmp/test.pp info: Applying configuration version '1300749546' notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]/ensure: created notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: created kripke:~ nbk$ puppet -v /tmp/test.pp info: Applying configuration version '1300749548' info: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Recursively backing up to filebucket notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Not removing directory; use 'force' to override info: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Recursively backing up to filebucket notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]: Not removing directory; use 'force' to override err: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/bar]/ensure: change from directory to link failed: Could not remove existing file </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
