Issue #11988 has been updated by Jeff McCune.
Just to give an update, I'm actively working on this Dominic so please ping me in #puppet if you start working on this Friday. I'd hate to have you duplicate work. My strategy is to use `Pathname#realpath` and `Tempfile`. I expect the biggest chunk of time on this fix to be an acceptance test. -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Bug #11988: Augeas provider can clobber symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11988 Author: Nathan Huff Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Dominic Cleal Category: augeas Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9 Keywords: augeas Branch: If the augeas resource is fed a symlink as the target file and it makes changes it will overwrite it with a regular file. It creates and .augnew file and just blindly moves it into place without checking if the target file was a symlink. The provider should either check whether the target was a symlink and dereference it or it should rerun augeas in overwrite mode since augeas does take care to dereference if necessary. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
