Issue #7680 has been updated by Chris Boot.
So after much research and testing, and with many thanks to Andrew and Adrien, I have prepared an alternative patch for this issue: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1529 This time, I am confident that this actually fully resolves this bug and any changes in behaviour make sense. Please let me know what you think of the changes. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7680: Checksum missmatch when copying followed symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7680#change-87062 Author: Mikael Svantesson Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8 Keywords: symlink file Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1476 When trying to copy a file (using a symlink), Puppet does not calculate the correct checksum for the temporary file.
