Issue #2762 has been updated by Michael Komitee.
In an environment with only a hand-full of administrators, all of which know all of the implementation details about how every resource is managed, that's a perfectly understandable solution, but in a large scale environment where there are many administrators spread around the globe independently making configuration changes on significant numbers of hosts, it's less reasonable to expect everyone to know the implementation details of how every configuration gets implemented. As an administrator of a service I know that my service ought to be restarted if a file is changed, but unless I investigate how that file is managed, I won't know to subscribe to an arbitrarily named exec. I think this is one of those cases where the purity of the code base should be second to the usability of the system. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2762: Exec's "creates" should be a referencable resource. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2762#change-77498 Author: Alex Urbanowicz Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Alex Urbanowicz Category: exec Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.1 Keywords: exec file provisioning relationship dependency Branch: Currently Exec's creates value can't be required or subscribed to. It should be treated as normal File resource so there could be different method of provisioning it without changing relations tied to the result file and not to the "source" Exec (or other method depending on some outside factor). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
