PR #532 introduced 4ebe030 which breaks backwards compatibility and is part of a patch release, as reported here: #532 (comment) This reverts commit 4ebe030. This will allow us to do a new patch release that fix the unexpected backwards incompatible change, and leave the room to implement this as part of a next major version of the module.
When the last setting of a section was removed, the whole section was removed unless it contained white space of comments. In #532, this was changed to also remove sections that only contained space (blank lines), but it caused regressions and was reverted in #535. For consistency, we completely suppress the auto-removal of "empty" sections: removing the last setting of a section will not remove this section anymore, just like what happens for sections with only blank lines and comments.
In order to explicitly manage sections of an ini file regardless of
their content, we introduce a new ini_section type. This make it
possible to remove a whole section of an ini file, regardless of its
content:
```puppet
ini_section { 'remove puppet.conf agent section':
ensure => abent,
path => '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf',
section => 'agent',
}
```
Just like the ini_setting type, ini_section can be subclassed:
```puppet
puppet_config { 'remove agent section':
ensure => abent,
section => 'agent',
}
```
Fixes #524
