tidy doesn't set a flag that would be required by Fileset in order to
follow symlinks (:links = :follow) so the behavior is consistent with stat
(http://linux.die.net/man/2/stat)
In my case I had some fun with /etc/init.d which is a symlink to
/etc/rc.d/init.d
I created https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3328 for this and added
a patch.

This has turned into a bit of an interesting adventure in the syntax of
Tidy.
Environment: puppet 0.24.8 on Fedora Core 11
After each run, I touch /tmp/foodir/bar to have something to tidy.
Test code:
# Environment Setup
$testdir = /tmp/foodir
$subdir = $testdir/subdir
file { $testdir:
ensure = 'directory',
require = Tidy[$testdir]
}
file { $subdir:
ensure = 'directory'
}
file { $subdir/foo:
ensure = 'file',
content = foo
}
file { $testdir/foolink:
ensure = $subdir/foo
}
Test 1:
tidy { $testdir:
age = '0s',
matches = *
}
Test 1 Result: Fail, bar remains
Test 2:
tidy { $testdir:
age = '0s',
matches = .*
}
Test 2 Result: Fail, bar remains
Test 3:
tidy { $testdir:
age = '0s',
recurse = 'true'
}
Test 3 Result: Pass, bar deleted
Test 4:
Created a symlink /tmp/foodir/baz that points to /tmp/foodir/subdir/foo
tidy { $testdir:
age = '0s',
recurse = 'true'
}
Test 4 Result: Partial, bar deleted, baz remains
Test 5:
Created the symlink baz and touched bar
tidy { $testdir:
age = '0s',
recurse = 'true',
type = 'mtime'
}
Test 5 Result: Pass
Comments:
I don't quite understand why the pass/fail combinations work above. I
also noticed that any subdirectory that is explicitly managed will not
be recursed into even if recurse is set to 'true'. I believe that it
should recurse through all subdirectories, not just the ones that
aren't otherwise managed.
Thanks,
Trevor

Trevor,
Not sure - the docs don't seem to reference symlinks in terms of
tidy...
Just something to try - does setting rmdirs = true make any
difference?

So, I have a directory of symlinks that I'm managing and Tidy doesn't
seem to be doing much for me in there.
Does Tidy ignore symlinks for some reason?
If not, does anyone have the correct syntax?
Thanks,
Trevor
