Puppet

In my global site.pp, I have this default value set:

File {
  ignore => ["*~", "#*#", ".#*", ".git", ".gitignore"]
}

Then, in a module, I’m attempting to add onto the ignore list in a recursive file resource:

  file { "/etc/mrtg":
    ensure => directory,
    owner => root,
    group => mrtg,
    mode => 750,
    purge => true,
    recurse => true,
    source => "puppet:///modules/mrtg/empty",
    ignore +> ".for-git"
  }

In 0.25, this worked fine. In 2.6.6, though, it produces a parser error:

Mon Mar 21 15:49:00 -0400 2011 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '+>'; expected '}' at /etc/puppet/modules/mrtg/manifests/init.pp:32 on node

If instead I change it to a file type defaults within the module context, though, it appears to work fine:

  File["/etc/mrtg"] { ignore +> ".for-git" }
  file { "/etc/mrtg":
    ensure => directory,
    owner => root,
    group => mrtg,
    mode => 750,
    purge => true,
    recurse => true,
    source => "puppet:///modules/mrtg/empty"
  }

Was I doing something that should never have worked in the first place, or have I found a regression?
