I apologize for the cross posting, but I would like to hit up folks to test and comment on a new version of the Augeas Puppet provider. You can get it at [1] which is a few day old version of the Puppet code. Added on top of this is a fix to [2] which states that the provider always executes, even if it does not need to.
Augeas version 0.3.6 added some changes which allow Augeas to be run in a noop mode, and report what "would" have happend to the file system. So, the new logic for the provider is 1 Check if the provider needs to run 2 Apply the filter. If it matches, continue. If not, return no. 3 if Augeas version 0.3.6 is installed 3.1 Load up the contents of the file 3.2 Make the changes in noop mode 3.3 If the files would have changed, return yes. if not, return no. 4 Execute the provider 5 if Augeas version 0.3.6 is installed 5.1 actually save the files. 6 If Augeas version 0.3.6 is not installed 6.1 Load up the contents of the file 6.2 Make the changes 6.3 Write the new files. The issue is, will any changes made to the file by other types between steps 3.3 and 5.1 be lost, and will that cause issues? There may be other issues I have not thought of yet (perhaps a dependent type actually lays down a file). Anyways.. comments on testing with the code would be greatly appreciated. -- bk [1] http://github.com/bkearney/puppet/tree/1826-0.24.x [2] http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1826 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
