Re: [Puppet Users] recursive descent

If you override something in a recursive directory, you're overriding everything. The subdirectories are being managed explicitly by the resource managing them, not by a combination of it and the parent. Look inline below: On Tuesday, December 17, 2013 11:12:21 AM UTC-8, Andy Spiegl wrote:
