Issue #2442 has been updated by Davíð Geirsson. Status changed from Rejected to Re-opened
Can this be revisited? It would be good to be able to configure this behaviour. It's very useful to have the entire puppet configuration space as well as facter's facts in one revision-controlled repository. In our case, we have puppet installed to /opt/puppet on the master. /opt/puppet/etc is under git revision control. Under there we would like to have facts/ and dist/ and symlink them under /opt/puppet. To do this currently we'll likely need to do some ugly hacks. Out of curiosity, what is unsafe about making following links for the factsync the default? I marked this reopened as I'm not sure anyone will read this if it's still rejected. Hope that's the correct workflow. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2442: plugin dirs cannot be symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2442#change-64150 Author: defunt Bode Status: Re-opened Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: I tried to make facter dir in plugins a symlink. (on the puppet server) [root@vievmsvn puppet]# ls -l /etc/puppet/modules/facts/plugins/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 puppet puppet 31 Jul 22 18:17 facter -> /usr/local/puppet/global/facter (on the puppet client) this does not work, puppetd is creating a symlink and not a directory on the client side, so this will not work unless the dir (on the client side) /usr/local/puppet/global/facter exists. This was easy enough to work around, just wanted to report the behavior. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
