Bug Fix

This release allows Puppet to retrieve attributes for `fifo` and `socket` files and manage them when given manifest has a `file` resource which is recursing over a given path.
Description
Using a slightly modified version of the code from "Pro Puppet" I am getting the following error:
Jun 13 01:36:33 media puppet-agent[18196]: (/Stage[main]/Mysql::Config/File[mysql_data_dir]) Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Cannot manage files of type socket
|
The file resource in mysql/manifests/config.pp is as follows:
file { "mysql_data_dir" :
|
path => $mysql::params::data_directory,
|
group => "mysql",
|
owner => "mysql",
|
recurse => true,
|
require => File["my.cnf"],
|
}
|
And for this particular $operatingsystem (Fedora) the value for $data_directory in mysql/manifests/params.pp is :
$data_directory = "/var/lib/mysql"
|
By default mysql on a Fedora system places its mysql.sock file in the data directory but it appears when a you try and change the permissions recursively, puppet doesn't know what to do with the socket file.
I can place the socket file elsewhere as a work around but I believe that puppet needs to ignore socket files when changing permissions.
