Description

The checkGenericFileContent PT should enable the user to create the concerned file or not. (create => true/false), this is useful in case that you want to edit a file AFTER the package concerning it has been installed ... Or else systems like APT will choose to leave the file intact and leave a copy of the new file next to it. Not what you usually want ...

I just diverted this change as the version 3.1 of the Technique, to prevent a Rudder breakage in case some users are already using 3.0 (this user story adds a boolean variable to the metadata.xml that is missing on already saved Directives, which breaks Rudder with a message like:

=> Exception caught during deployment process: Mandatory variable GENERIC_FILE_CONTENT_CREATE_BOOLEAN is empty, can not write checkGenericFileContent/3.0/checkGenericFileContent.cf

)

This is a good change, but the order of variables displayed in the Technique is most confusing: this new option appears in the middle of a set of options about other sections. I've opened #3061 for this, so validating it.
