| Puppet::Type.newtype(:anchor) do |
| desc <<-'ENDOFDESC' |
| A simple resource type intended to be used as an anchor in a composite class. |
| |
| class ntp { |
| class { 'ntp::package': } |
| -> class { 'ntp::config': } |
| -> class { 'ntp::service': } |
| |
| # These two resources "anchor" the composed classes |
| # such that the end user may use "require" and "before" |
| # relationships with Class['ntp'] |
| anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> class { 'ntp::package': } |
| class { 'ntp::service': } -> anchor { 'ntp::end': } |
| } |
| |
| This resource allows all of the classes in the ntp module to be contained |
| within the ntp class from a dependency management point of view. |
| |
| This allows the end user of the ntp module to establish require and before |
| relationships easily: |
| |
| class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': } |
| class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': } |
