fixedsudoers.aug breaks Augeas on Debian about puppet-sudo

[Farzy]

To be more precise: the sole presence of the .aug file in the module breaks on Debian 6 (& maybe 7).

hm, i think thats because of the old augeas version in debian 6/7. debian includes 0.10.0 and redhat 5/6 use 1.2.0 (from epel). the old lense does not support upper usernames and a few other things. but if it completely breaks debian we should probably remove it. i do not know if there's a neat way to just sync the lense on rhel5/6...

I'm not aware of any way to sync lenses selectivly.

But, I'm running Debian Wheezy 7.8 with augeas-lenses 0.10.0-1 and this module is working without any problems.

Is anyone else running into this issue?

[lutter]

There was a report on puppet-users that having both FixedSudoers and Sudoers causes breakage.

I see two ways to fix this:

• Remove the autoload xfm line from FixedSudoers; instead, use the incl/file parameters to augeas resources -- it seems that that is happening already, anyway, and the autoload line is not needed at all
• Merge FixedSudoers back into the Sudoers lens upstream (which I would personally prefer a lot)

[tosmi]

i mainly imported the fixedsuders lens for redhat 5 because we had issues with certain usernames. its a copy of the redhat 6 lens.

it seems to me the sudoers lens got updated in one of the last rhel 5 releases. so i'm not sure if the fixedsuders lens is still required.

so there are two possible solutions:

1. remove the xfm line, which works as far as my tests go
2. remove the fixedsuders lens

i would go with 1 to still support older rhel releases, but 2 is also ok with me. if there are no further updates to this issue within next week i'm going to open a pull request with the xfm line removed.

thanks

@tosmi First sounds good to me. Are you willing to send in a pr?

[tosmi]

sorry, totally forgot about this issue. i'll try to come up with a pull request within the next days.

This issue should be resolved in current master.
