Perhaps you could be a little more specific about what you want to do,
especially if you want code. Until then, here are some guidelines:
- Do not manage the same physical resource via multiple Puppet
resources. In particular, make sure there are no files that are managed
via both a File and an Exec.
- Puppet knows that on Unix systems, directories modes need execute bits
to accompany read bits; it handles this for you to simplify recursive
directory management.
- File resources in general, and recursive ones in particular, work best
for relatively small total numbers of files not-huge files.
- Except with respect to (sub)directory execute permissions, if you want
to manage different files to have different permissions (/ ownership /
security context) then you need to use separate File resources or an
altogether different resource type.
- If you have a large or complex set of related files to manage, and
especially if none of them are expected to change frequently, then don't
overlook the possibility of packaging them up and managing them together
via a Package resource.
