I'd like to be able to use the file resource to CONDITIONALLY copy files.
The example in a previous post was to copy a large binary install file
to the puppet client. However once the installation has taken place I'd
really prefer not to leave this file on the client.
One thought I had was to have an unless method/attribute in the file
type which would allow us to disable the configured file behaviour:
For example:
file { "/my/file":
source => "/path/to/my/file",
unless => "/usr/bin/test -d /final/install/directory",
notify => Exec[install_script]
}
exec { "install_script":
...
}
This seems like it would provide a nice easy way to run custom install
scripts and only copy over the files once. The install script would
clean up afterwards.
I don't think this is something puppet can do now but would it be a
useful addition?
