Yeah, it's handy for sure. Although, it doesn't work when there are sufficiently complex diff's. Luckily, it's always worked for Puppet on my end. The Debian New Maintainers' Guide has a blurb about it: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html Glad to have imparted the knowledge unto others that was once imparted unto me. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
