Re: File and folder rights

Do you mean two passes within a single execution of cf-agent or two
executions of cf-agent?

I see a few things here.

I see that you are juggling both /files/ and /reports/ type promises.
You seem to be using /files/ for managing file/directory
presence/absence and permissions, and /reports/ for file content. For
this I would probably just use the /files/ promises. It's not clear to
me the benefit that reports promises bring to this policy.

I see that after the reports promises you have a files promise for
permissions. What is your expectation here, that the files promise will
actuate /after/ the /reports/ promises because it is later in the file?

Remember, [promises are actuated in the /normal order/] as opposed to
the written order. Your policy uses /vars/, /files/, /classes/, and
/reports/ type promises, per the normal order, the promises will run in
the following order:

1. vars
2. classes
3. files
4. reports

You can use classes or the [`depends_on' attribute] to influence the
order in which promises within a bundle actuate. Alternatively, you
could break the policy into multiple bundles and control the order of
bundle actuation using /methods/ promises.
