Issue #11988 has been updated by David Lutterkort.
Even if you need to make changes between two calls to @aug.save, you should keep the handle open and call @aug.load to reset the tree to its pristine state. @aug.load goes through great length to not reload files unnecessarily (if the mtime of a file hasn't changed since the last load, and nothing in the corresponding tree was touched, @aug.load is a noop, i.e. for unchanged file all that happens is a stat) In addition, the tree should be initialized with as few files as possible; IIRC, Dominic wrote some clever code to deduce from the context which file needs to be loaded. ---------------------------------------- Bug #11988: Augeas provider can clobber symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11988 Author: Nathan Huff Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: 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.
