I just spent 5! weeks trying on and off to find a problem in a cfengine script
that turned out to be => is what the size item is looking for and not >= (
which is
what most every other programming language in the world uses. )
I understand why ( size is looking for anything past = .. and if it sees > it
knows
to use that as a lower limit) but it does make things confusing when one is a
programmer
as well as an admin and puts it the other way.
Would it be possible to have it honor it both ways? Or if not .. have a useful
error
instead of:
cf:cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/dumper/config.cf:51: Image loop:
file/dir copies to itself or missing destination file
Which is what you get because it identifies it as a new source.
I'll likely post a patch if someone more conversant with the source tree
doesn't.
