tidying a list of directory

[Olivier Hertrich]

Hello,

I have a list like this :
test_list = (
/home/stage/:/home/postgres/:/home/oldev/:/opt/epd/dm/v200/:/opt/epd/dm/v300/:/home/pierre/:/opt/epd/dm/v320/:/tmp/:/home/web/ 


) used in a tidy section :
tidy:
   be2::
     $(test_list) pattern=*201* age=0 inform=true recurse=1 xdev=true

With cfengine 2.0.4 (on Solaris, I have not yet tried on another
platform) each directory in the list is scanned to clean the pattern *201*.
With cfengine 2.1.7p1, nothing append. In debug level 3 I have this
message :

TIDY /home/stage (maxrecurse = 1)

IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120

xdev = y

TIDY /home/postgres (maxrecurse = 1)

IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120

xdev = y

It seems that teh directory in the list lose theirs ending /.
If I use this rule :
be2::
     $(test_list)* pattern=*201* age=0 inform=true recurse=1 xdev=true
I get :

TIDY /home/stage/* (maxrecurse = 1)

IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120

xdev = y

   FOR CLASSES (be2)

   pat=*201*, a-age=0, size=0, linkdirs=k, rmdirs=n, travlinks=F compress=n

      Define

      ElseDefine

      recurse=1

TIDY /home/postgres/* (maxrecurse = 1)

IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120

xdev = y

   FOR CLASSES (be2)

   pat=*201*, a-age=0, size=0, linkdirs=k, rmdirs=n, travlinks=F compress=n

      Define

      ElseDefine

      recurse=1

I have tried $(test_list)/ (a / in place of *), but it seems that this /
is also deleted.

Is a bug ?

Thanks
