Even in that sort of situation, if puppet did it in proper rsync style, it wouldnt matter. If the client sets the timestamp on its file to be the same as the master, then you no longer have a "greater than" comparison, but an "is equal to" comparison. Skew all you want, but with milisecond resolution(or sometimes greater!), the chances of accidentally having non-matching files overlooked, is almost nil. .. unfortunately, puppet does not do this currently, either. It does not set client file timestamp time to match master, at present. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
