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?

Thanks guys.
