---------------------------------------- Bug #17158: Make file dealing with overwriting symlinks a little clearer https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17158#change-77588 Author: Ben Hughes Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: Low Assignee: Patrick Carlisle Category: Target version: 3.0.2 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: IRC paste: <pre> 20:20:12 fubada | someone know if its possible to skip symlink creation if theres already a symlink in place, regardless of the destination file 20:21:26 barn | fubada: replace => false 20:21:44 fubada | and it ignores where the symlink points to entirely? 20:21:47 barn | (though I'm not 100% that that will not mess with it) 20:21:58 fubada | barn: thanks i will try 20:21:59 barn | "Setting this to false allows file resources to initialize files without overwriting future changes. Note that this only affects content; Puppet will | still manage ownership and permissions" 20:22:07 fubada | hmm not clear 20:22:08 barn | is a little ambiguous I must admit 20:22:15 barn | fubada: please let me know (: 20:22:29 fubada | i have do create a symlink the first time puppet runs so that my apache service startts 20:22:47 fubada | but after i deploy my app, the symlink no longer makes sense 20:22:58 fubada | since its just a placeholder20:27:07 fubada | barn: awesome news 20:27:08 fubada | it worked 20:27:14 fubada | did not overwrite my symlink </pre> So could we make http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file>'s replace section a little ambiguous per chance?
