The problem is that, in general, this isn't how puppet works. Usually, it's considered a feature that you know that if the file is changed on the client, puppet will revert it. First, you should consider if generating the file using information about the client might be better. Next, with you design, what would us expect to happen if the server's file changes? Is it only then that you want to wipe it? Conclusion: Puppet can do that, but it's not the usual way, and I think you need to use an exec instead. > > puppet client <--------------> puppet server > > index.html index.html > 2011-03-29 2011-03-28 > > > > > On 3월29일, 오후11시56분, Felix Frank <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On 03/29/2011 03:32 AM, metalove wrote: >> >>> Hi, all. >> >>> I'm not familiar with puppet itself and want to know that this is >>> possible or not.. >>> As I know, puppet client updates all files from server without regard >>> to the files are old or new.. >>> But, I think that puppet client should update the files only when the >>> target files from server are new.. >>> so is there any option to do this? >> >> Not that I'm aware of, no.
