Issue #3955 has been updated by Luke Kanies.
Note that it won't be a separate syntax - I looked into that, and it didn't make sense because it would only be a valid rvalue for files, which is silly. Instead it'll be a URL type for 'source'. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3955: Should have a seperate syntax for specifying file content by checksum http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3955 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Luke Kanies Category: Target version: queued Affected version: development Keywords: Branch: Rather than passing around the contents of a file (e.g. in logs) we use the checksum; to support this the users is also allowed to _specify_ the contents as a checksum, but this leads to an ambiguity when the actual contents match the checksum pattern. Instead of trying to do magic, we should have distinct syntax for referring to the contents by checksum (which should _always_ expect a valid checksum) and for specifying the contents literally (which shouldn't do anything different if the contents happen to resemble a checksum). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
