I hope this is an appropriate place for this question; if not, any 
redirection to a more appropriate place is appreciated.

So: I'm trying to set up puppet + augeas on an opensolaris system.  There 
are certain files I have that are under RCS version control--this is not 
all my doing, so some of these things I cannot change.  This creates files 
under /etc/ that are like "filename,v".

I'm using puppet 2.7.22 and augeas 1.0.0.

Well, augtool, and apparently augeas invoked via puppet throw up on this. 
 Augtool reports

Failed to initialize Augeas
error: Invalid path expression
error: garbage at end of path expression
/augeas/files/etc/default/nfs|=|,v

I just want augeas to ignore these files...

I think the answer is to modify the 
/usr/local/share/augeas/lenses/dist/*.aug files that refer to things that 
are causing this grief and add excl clauses to explicitly exclude anything 
*,v. 

For example in shellvars.aug we have

let filter_default = incl "/etc/default/*"
    . excl "/etc/default/grub_installdevice*"
    . excl "/etc/default/whoopsie"

I've added 
    . excl "/etc/default/*,v"

This appears to work.  But I'm not sure this is the "right" solution -- 
should I perhaps be making a copy of this to somewhere else and override 
the dist version?  Is there a more global way I could say "ignore all files 
that have ,v after them" ?

Thanks

Pete
