This module will need to manage one line in the file /etc/default/grub, namely the line starting with "GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=". Currently I want to leave the rest of the file untouched. Which would be the best way to do this? I see two options: a) Do some `sed` magic on the file in a `exec` call. Downside: puppet won't notice when the line gets manually changed. b) Have some support for sections inside files, like this: [... part of file untouched by puppet ...] ### # BEGIN MANAGED BY PUPPET: IDENTIFIEROFPUPPETRESOURCE ### GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN='my options' ### # END MANAGED BY PUPPET: IDENTIFIEROFPUPPETRESOURCE ### [... rest of file untouched by puppet ...] Is there support for something like this?
