Package: cfengine2
Version: 2.2.8-1
Severity: normal
The edifile doesn't update the mtime field. The result is that
BeginGroupIfFileIsNewer is always executed as the other file is always
newer.
For example the following sample will edit the file each time
copy:
any::
/var/lib/cfengine2/inputs/repo/debian/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dest=/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate
r=inf
mode=600
owner=root
server=$(serveurref)
editfiles:
any::
{ /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
BeginGroupIfFileIsNewer
"/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
EmptyEntireFilePlease
InsertLine "#generated based on
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
InsertFile
"/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.cftemplate"
ExpandVariables
DefineInGroup "exim4_modified"
EndGroup
The expected behavior is that the edit file is only executed if I change the
/var/lib/cfengine2/inputs/repo/debian/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf in my
repository

Hi,
I'm closing this bug because no information was provided and the cfengine fragment posted is not
behaving as expected because the file is not copied over; once you force the copy the mtime will be
udpated accordingly; please have a look at my last correspondence
Feel free to reopen if my explanation is not clear.
Cheers
Antonio
