This is egregious since "checksum" is now broken for anything but "md5". And since that's the default, you might as well say using checksum breaks file resources, since if you use it at all to override "md5", you always get a mis-match because the server only does md5. For example: file { "chroot-20070718.tar": ensure => present, path => "${release_account::redhat::home}/chroot-20070718.tar", source => "/root/puppet/modules/release_account/files/chroots/${::osfamily}/chroot-20070718.tar", checksum => sha256lite, } Results in: Notice: /Stage[main]/Release_account::Redhat::Chroot/File[chroot-20070718.tar]/content: current_value {sha256lite}3b155333d1cb1ed4e96f791c16dda06d95c47ded1b206240ed61c2c09f1426ba, should be {md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e (noop) Note that client-side checksum is {sha256lite} while server-side persists in using {md5}. This happens with any non-"md5" value of checksum: mtime, md5lite, etc. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1208 md5lite, mtime not honoured for file type/provider It seems I can't get the puppetmaster to honour the checksum => mtime setting, or the md5lite setting. So the following example has no performance improvement over just using md5: {code} file { "/testtransfer":   ensure => directory,   recurse => remote,   purge => true,   checksum => mtime,   source => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/bigfilesh...
