Ok, so I tried using the purge option below. I then deleted one of the html
files and waited for the deletion to propagate which didn't happen. Is purge
an option that only works if you are copying whole directories? I noticed in
the cfengine doc it says it can only be used in conjunction with a depth_search
option.
bundle agent webserve_config
{
classes:
"fooweb" and => {"cflax01"};
packages:
fooweb::
"httpd"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => yum;
commands:
fooweb::
"/sbin/chkconfig" args => "httpd on";
"/sbin/service" args => "httpd start";
files:
fooweb::
"/var/www/html/foo.html"
copy_from =>
webcopy("/var/cfengine/masterfiles/fooweb/var/www/html/foo.html", "cfengsrv "),
perms => u_p("644"),
#depth_search => links,
action => u_immediate;
"/var/www/html/test.html"
copy_from => webcopy("/var/cfengine/masterfiles/foolink/test.html",
"cfengsrv "),
perms => u_p("644"),
depth_search => links,
action => u_immediate;
"/var/www/html/foo2.html"
copy_from =>
webcopy("/var/cfengine/masterfiles/fooweb/var/www/html/foo2.html", "cfengsrv "),
perms => u_p("644"),
action => u_immediate;
#depth_search => recurse("inf");
}
body depth_search links
{
traverse_links => "true";
}
body copy_from webcopy(from,server)
{
servers => {"$(server)"};
source => "$(from)";
compare => "digest";
copy_backup => "true";
trustkey => "true";
purge => "true";
}

Yup, you can define
body copy_from example {
purge => "true";
}
