Rudder

We need to look to our Apache webdav configuration to see how to have the behaviour: each time a "put file" is send, override any existing file.

I suggest to change the /var/rudder/tools/send-clean.sh script, which sends the inventory to the endpoint on the Rudder server side, adding a small part that moves the failed file to a special location:

# Abort if sending failed
if [ ${SEND_COMMAND_RET} -ne 0 ]; then
        if [ ! -d "${FAILEDDIR}" ]; then
                mkdir -p ${FAILEDDIR}
        fi
        mv "${FILENAME}" "${FAILEDDIR}/${BASENAME}-$(date --rfc-3339=date)" 
        exit ${SEND_COMMAND_RET}
fi

Is this acceptable ?

Matthieu, this looks like a great approach. Please go ahead and implement it.

Acknowledged. Task started.

This fix implies a lot of changes onf the general behavior and therefore will be fixed in 2.8.

This will be fixed in 2.8.0.

As of 2.4, 2.6 and 2.7, we will document the workaround (deleting faulty inventories from /incoming, see #4095).

Applied in changeset packages:commit:3c69950fb2915ff4d0412495ad4138a4d281df21.

This bug has been fixed in Rudder 2.8.0~rc1, which was released on Friday 25/10/2013.
