Puppet users - Mar 2009 - Requiring a definition

So I''m trying to setup puppet where all packages require a definition
(the definition being the addition of a local deb repository to apt-
get). and I''m wondering how I can do this.

Since installing packages is pretty much the first thing that I need
to have puppet do and since I need to have the local apt repository as
a requirement for all packages, I can''t use "before" in the
definition
and even if there was something before installing packages that I
could require, I still need to require the deb repository somehow.

I''ve tried requiring the exec the definition runs, I''ve tried
requiring the actual definition using various forms, and I''ve tried
using an alias but I keep getting various errors.

Also, I''m curious how come there''s no aptrepo type included in
puppet
when there''s a yumrepo type?

Cheers,
Scott

I have the following working for making a standard user access list 
(originally from David Schmitt). Hopefully the line breaks won''t render
it unreadable:

file { 
"/etc/puppet/files/apps/pam_listfile/users.conf.d/cae-unix-users.conf":
         checksum => md5,
         notify   => 
Exec["concat_uniq_/etc/puppet/files/apps/pam_listfile/users.conf.default"]
     }

concatenated_file_uniq {
     "/etc/puppet/files/apps/pam_listfile/users.conf.default":
         dir => "/etc/puppet/files/apps/pam_listfile/users.conf.d";
}

define concatenated_file_uniq ($dir, $mode = 0644, $owner = root, $group 
= root)
{
     file {
         $name:
             ensure   => present,
             checksum => md5,
             mode     => $mode,
             owner    => $owner,
             group => $group;
     }

     exec { "find ${dir} -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -name
''*puppettmp''
-print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 cat | sort | uniq > ${name}":
         refreshonly => true,
         subscribe   => File[$dir],
         alias       => "concat_uniq_${name}",
     }
}

This is what I use for an aptrepo definition:
