If what you are wanting is parent directories, that has been raised before and, IIRC, the consensus was that that would cause more problems than it would solve. The core issue is that by implicitly managing the directory resource you could wind up with it being managed more than once and get conflicting settings for owner, rights, etc. The conclusion the last time this came up is that you should explicitly manage (and require) the parent directories. The recursion parameter is for going down into child directories, and that should work. If I;m misunderstanding your request and it doesn't work for you, there may be a bug somewhere where, and that of course should be fixed. -- Markus ----------------------------------------------------------- The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. ~George Bernard Shaw ------------------------------------------------------------ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
