Jira (PUP-2156) file provider silent behaviour change for "mode"

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: file provider silent behaviour change for "mode" So, how do we want to have the tickets arranged for this? We have two things to do: 3.7 add deprecation of file mode not being a string 4.0 (3.7 future) - enforce file mode being a string Is this ticket (2156) one of those and should be repurposed? Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2156 file provider silent behaviour change for "mode" The type reference for file in Puppet 0.25.5 said: {noformat} file { '/some/dir':   mode => 644,   recurse => true, } {noformat} Ref: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/0.25.5/type.html#file I believe that there are many Puppet manifests out there that still writes file mode as 3-digit numbers and expect them to be interpreted as octal. ...
