Description

If you use sharedfile_to_node, and the files shared if updated (changed), the hash/signature is not updated.

      "hash"              string => execresult("sed -n '/^hash_value=/s/^hash_value=//p' ${file_path}.sign", "useshell"),
                      ifvarclass => "${canonified_path}_signed";

[...]

      "${canonified_path}_signed" expression => fileexists("${file_path}.sign");

"hash" should also include a function like isnewerthan to see if the shared file is newer than the signature file, and recreate it if the file changed.

This patch helped me to solve the issue:
