Package: augeas-lenses Version: 0.7.0-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/shellvars.aug
I am using augeas with puppet. I would like to add to each value I control with pupet a short comment along the lines of "MANAGED BY PUPPET". Unfortunately, augeas very strongly enforces a single value rule, such that setting e.g. /files/etc/default/rcS/TMPTIME to any of the following causes the save to fail: 7 # MANAGED BY PUPPET "7 # MANAGED BY PUPPET" The only way to make it work is with either of the following two: "'7 # MANAGED BY PUPPET'" 7#MANAGED_BY_PUPPET But both yield the wrong value: due to the quotes in the first, the comment will be included, and due to the missing space before the #, the comment is also considered part of the value. I appreciate the stringent syntax checking, but I think that "7 # MANAGED BY PUPPET" should be an acceptable value, because ' #' denotes a comment, which I think augeas could tolerate/allow.
