Yes. The checksum are needed when remotely fileserving (and sometimes locally), thus they are also computed when managing local (not sourced) files, because the same code is run. > Bug 3170 seems to suggest checksum => undef should work though? It used to work in 0.24.x, but we lost this in 0.25 when the whole file serving system was refactored (and greatly improved despite what you found). > Anyway, it would indeed be great if this were solved. I concur. This is annoying. I have a 5 minutes hack to disable checksumming, but it far from being production ready. I don't think I'll have time this week-end to work on this, but if I can find 5 minutes, I'll try to send a preliminary patch to puppet-dev. > I wish I understood Ruby, would love to peek under the hood of > puppet...
