RFE: permissions="inherit"

[anonymous]

Rather than store the permissions for a ConfigFile? in the xml file, it would be good for the permissions on the filesystem to be used instead. This would only work for the permissions, not for ownership since the user:group on the remote system may not exist.

s/on the remote system may not exist/on the remote system may not exist on the bcfg2 server/

I'm confused.

Should I be using this:

<ConfigFile? name='/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config' perms="0644" />

which gives the error: /var/lib/bcfg2/Bundler/iptables.xml:3: element ConfigFile?: Schemas validity error : Element 'ConfigFile?', attribute 'perms': The attribute 'perms' is not allowed.

or this:

<Permissions name='/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config' perms="0644" />

which gives the same error: /var/lib/bcfg2/Bundler/iptables.xml:4: element Permissions: Schemas validity error : Element 'Permissions', attribute 'perms': The attribute 'perms' is not allowed.

Bundles only contain <Element name='ename'/>

All other elements come from later in the generation process (either from inside of Cfg, or Rules, depending on the entry). If you have a ConfigFile? entry, its ownership and permissions are specified inside of Cfg in the :info or info.xml file. If you are using Permissions, you need to bind it in Rules and set its attributes there. This will all be cleaned up in 1.0 with the unification of all posix path types.

Hmm, this seems very limited since you can only specify one set of permissions. How would we handle priorities in this case?
