Bug #1760: inconsistent reporting if client file is changed
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1760

Author: wyvern
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Low

Category: 
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.5
Keywords: 


A bit of background:
- we have /etc/network/interfaces under puppet control (just as a template) 
with a notify action to restart networking

However, sometimes we do this _manually_  (by running the appropriate changes 
manually but still updating the template).

If I run puppetd --test --noop it returns:
<pre>
notice: 
//Node[stickle.example.com]/basenode/network::network/File[/etc/network/interfaces]/checksum:
 is {md5}67f14aec4e52b6a49ebecd8c167f88ff, should be md5 (noop)
info: 
//Node[stickle.example.com]/basenode/network::network/File[/etc/network/interfaces]:
 Scheduling refresh of Service[networking]
notice: 
//Node[stickle.example.com]/basenode/network::network/Service[networking]: 
Would have triggered refresh from 1 dependencies
</pre>

I have to edit /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml and update the md5 sum there 
before puppet believes that the file is in sync.

puppet seems to compare template with stored md5 sum and say "it's different, 
I'll need to change this".  However if I _just_ edit the file on disk, puppet 
(quite correctly) detects this change.

i.e. since puppet _always_ has to check the real md5sum of the destination 
file, why bother storing it at all and comparing against that version?

To be honest, I can see that it would be handy if puppet reported "file changed 
outside puppet control" (i.e. when the md5sum on disk changes) so storing it is 
a good idea.
