Puppet v2.7.209 setting permissions recursively

[Robert Rothenberg]

How can I get Puppet to recursively set permissions of a directory, so that the directory and all subdirectories have move 0755 but the files in the directory have mode 0644? When I use the recurse => true option, it sets the files in the directory to executable as well.

I should add that if I set the directories to mode 0644, then the directory and subdirectories don't have search permissions either.

Perhaps this bug?

Though this was fixed in 2.7.7... I'm not entirely clear as to what version you're on.

Indeed.  There is no version 2.7.209 of Puppet -- the latest is 2.7.20.

Anyway, what you are supposed to do is leave off the execute/search bits of the mode, and let Puppet add them automatically to directories where the specified mode allows reading.  If Puppet has regressed on that behavior again then I am certain that PL would appreciate you filing a ticket.  This is the first I've heard about a second such a regression, however, so check your version.

I mean the latest in the 2.7 series, of course.  The very latest is 3.0.1, with 3.0.2 now on the horizon.
