Re: filters and tidy

[Robert Shaw]

Mark,

I think I figured it out. However, can you make sure this is correct. 
In order to make it delete any link it found, I had to do this:

$(etcprefix)   pattern=*         filter=badlinks recurse=inf age=0 
rmdirs=true dirlinks=tidy

Is that correct? Also, what is the difference between "dirlinks=tidy" 
and "dirlinks=delete"?? They appear to work the same in my case here.

If I use the above line, I get the following output:

>  sudo sbin/cfupdate -n
cf:arizona2: want to delete /etc/cfengine/inputs
cf:arizona2: want to delete /etc/cfengine/filelink1
cf:arizona2: want to delete /etc/cfengine/filelink2
cf:arizona2: want to delete /etc/cfengine/dirlink1
cf:arizona2: want to delete /etc/cfengine/dirlink2

Which is exactly what I would expect. Is this what you would expect?

Thanks.
-Robert
