I find myself needing to manage a file that has content that to Puppet
looks like a checksum. It isn't, but because Puppet sees any file content
line beginning with "{", 3 to 5 characters, "}", as a checksum, it doesn't
accept the content but instead tries to find the file in a filebucket...
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/2f14ddd269c26cba36771d9b3464c2c29422e46a/lib/puppet/type/file/content.rb#L49
I actually need to store "{CRYPT}$..." which isn't one of Puppet's
recognised types.
It seems there's no way to work around this in pure Puppet code, so I can't
manage those files without doing something hackish, like putting a modified
form of the content in a file alongside then having a script on the machine
that puts it in the correct place without the modifications, but the issue
for removing this behaviour was last updated in 2018:
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1043
It says it will now target Puppet 7, which came and went some time ago.
Does anyone know if there will be a new target for this?
Thanks,
Iain Hallam.
