I think this is what worries me the most about this bug, that people may not realize it exists, because it many cases it's invisible, no matter how you restrict the run with tags. As long as the files you refer to in the classes actually exist in the client-specified-environment, the puppet runs will cruise along happily until that one time when you make a change and it doesn't go out to everyone. :( Multiple runs do mitigate it, but ... we shouldn't have to do that. > > --apb (Alan Barrett) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
