Description

Tags should allow exclusions, i.e. all,!test That's probably the most common case you would want to use tags, so that rather than tagging everything as production, you can just tag those items you are playing with.

I think you'll find this works - at least in does in the tagmail report...?

I don't mean tagmail, I mean manifest tags. I want to run puppetd -tags all,!test and get all objects for the node that are not tagged test.

Martha - I know you meant --tags but was suggesting that this might already be possible? Have you tested it? If it isn't possible then that's fine and I'd say this is an excellent enhancement.

  • priority changed from normal to low.
  • stage changed from Needs more info to Accepted.

This does work in tagmail, but it doesn't work in transactions, as Martha is indicating.
