+ A simple resource type intended to be used as an anchor in a composite class.
In Puppet 2.6, when a class declares another class, the resources in the
interior class are not contained by the exterior class. This interacts badly
classes between two no-op resources that _are_ contained by the exterior
class, you can ensure that all resources in the module are contained.
- class ntp {
- # These classes will have the correct order relationship with each
- # other. However, without anchors, they won't have any order
- # relationship to Class['ntp'].
- class { 'ntp::package': }
- -> class { 'ntp::config': }
- -> class { 'ntp::service': }
-
- # These two resources "anchor" the composed classes within the ntp
- # class.
- anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> Class['ntp::package']
- Class['ntp::service'] -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
- }
+ ```
+ class ntp {
+ # These classes will have the correct order relationship with each
+ # other. However, without anchors, they won't have any order
+ # relationship to Class['ntp'].
+ class { 'ntp::package': }
+ -> class { 'ntp::config': }
+ -> class { 'ntp::service': }
+
+ # These two resources "anchor" the composed classes within the ntp
+ # class.
+ anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> Class['ntp::package']
+ Class['ntp::service'] -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
+ }
+ ```
This allows the end user of the ntp module to establish require and before
relationships with Class['ntp']:
- class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
- class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
+ ```
+ class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
+ class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
+ ```
