Heh, yeah, doing that sort of things (recurse into /etc) seems
dangerous. What i'm using this for though is to merge the bb config
that is generic and the one that is OS dependent. Also i use it to
deploy some files into /opt/sbin.
Thanks for your thoughts though :) i'll keep them in mind

Yeah, looks like it works a treat.
The collision occurs on the container (the directory) not the files. I
guess if there is a file collision, then the second file will win,
because of the require =>s
It took a while for the source param bit to get through, but that's a
good idea ... reduces typos
This seems much better to me. Specify what you want directly.
Is there ever going to be more than one file that could collide? You
probably only need the $bbVersion in the source param that way you can use
one name and get rid of the path.

Hello again
Another day another thing i haven't done before :)
I realize that i've got that workaround above, but i really don't want
to have to do this, the reason being:
i have scripts in /opt/sbin , they are deployed as part of the
install, and other users deploy service scripts for locally
Ok, i've got a working workaround, but is there a neater way:
class blah
{
if (skip_blah != "true")
{
## deploy generic
# transfer generic data
file
{ "/var/blah/blah_v2":
path => "/
I think i'm deluding myself more than usually that above example
should not work, because it matches my code, but the error message:
