Hi everyone,
Do You know if it is possible make sure puppet use the destination of
symbolic link as a source file. Let me explain here is the situation.
On my puppet master:
# ls -al
total 1976
drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jul 26 16:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 user user 4096 Jul 26 16:56 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 26 Jul 26 16:41
libisccc80-amd64-squeeze-LATEST.deb -> libisccc80_9.8.1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 33356 Jul 20 18:29 libisccc80_9.8.1_amd64.deb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 27 Jul 26 16:42
libisccfg82-amd64-squeeze-LATEST.deb -> libisccfg82_9.8.1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 59924 Jul 20 18:29 libisccfg82_9.8.1_amd64.deb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 26 Jul 26 16:42
liblwres80-amd64-squeeze-LATEST.deb -> liblwres80_9.8.1_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 58022 Jul 20 18:29 liblwres80_9.8.1_amd64.deb
So I declared a 'file' resource with the source attribute as followed:
source =>
"puppet:///modules/${module_name}/packages/libisc83-${::architecture}-${::lsbdistcodename}-LATEST.deb"
So when I run puppet agent here is the result:
# ls -al /var/lib/puppet/tmp/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 2 puppet puppet 4096 Jul 26 18:02 .
drwxr-x--- 12 puppet puppet 4096 Jul 25 16:11 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 26 18:02

libbind9-80-amd64-squeeze.deb -> libbind9-80_9.8.1_amd64.deb

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 26 18:02 libisccc80-amd64-squeeze.deb

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 26 18:02 liblwres80-amd64-squeeze.deb
-> liblwres80_9.8.1_amd64.deb
I can't say this really what I want, I really want puppet to follow the
symbolic link and get the actual file.
Any idea how I could accomplish that behavior?
Regards,
JM
