Inspired by this discussion, I just wrote a custom function that
could help in doing this, which I have attached. You would then
use it like this:
$x = dirtree("/usr/share/openvpn", "easy-rsa/2.0/keys")
file {
$x: ensure => directory;
}
dirtree() will return a list of all directories from /usr/share/openvpn
down to /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa/foo/bar. Passing that list to the
file type will make sure those exists. But, unlike using mkdir -p, it
will *not* create /usr or /usr/share, only /usr/share/openvpn and down.
Unfortunately, it seems that I need to assign the function return value
to a temporary variable ($x above). I would have liked to do
file {
dirtree("/usr/share/openvpn", "easy-rsa/2.0/keys"):
ensure => directory;
}
but at least the pre 0.25.0 snapshot I'm testing this with gives me
a syntax error for that. :-( I'll file a bug report for that.
