Issue #2442 has been updated by Luke Kanies. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
Thanks for submitting this. At this point it's not possible to tune whether downloading plugins should ignore or manage links, and we default to managing them because it's safer. I can't imagine this coming up often enough to need an option, and it's not safe to default to following, so I'm rejecting this. If someone feels strongly about it we'll revisit. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2442: plugin dirs cannot be symlinks http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2442 Author: Dan Bode Status: Rejected Priority: Low Assigned to: Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: I tried to make facter dir in plugins a symlink. (on the puppet server) [r...@vievmsvn puppet]# ls -l /etc/puppet/modules/facts/plugins/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 puppet puppet 31 Jul 22 18:17 facter -> /usr/local/puppet/global/facter (on the puppet client) this does not work, puppetd is creating a symlink and not a directory on the client side, so this will not work unless the dir (on the client side) /usr/local/puppet/global/facter exists. This was easy enough to work around, just wanted to report the behavior. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
