Hi, Well depending on what you're trying to do exactly there are some ways to get around it.
But this comes back to the essence of puppet, it is not just a deployment tool but it is used to describe and assert the configuration state you want on your node. A file that is volatile to wanted change on the node maybe better handled at the package level so you deploy a known state then the node makes changes after that. In this case you can still describe the file in the manifest but not the contents of the file (just that it's present and has these perm values and so on). Other options really depend on the files in question, like they might allow local include files that can have the volatile changes.
