Puppet users - Mar 2007 - before => ?

Hi,

How would I do this:

   wgetfile { "$name-$file":
                  url => $url,
                  file => $file,
                  target => $target,
                  options => $options,
                  before => Component["md5check-$name"]
   }

   wgetfile { "$name-$md5file":
                  url => $url,
                  file => $md5file,
                  target => $target,
                  options => $options,
                  before => Component["md5check-$name"]
   }


   md5check { "md5check-$name":
                  file => "$file",
                  md5file => "$md5file",
                  target => "$target"
   }

I need the 2 wgetfile components to run before the md5check component so
have declared the 2 wgetfile components with the before meta parameter.
However, I don''t know what type to use to reference the md5check
component,
is there a type for this? If not, how would I achieve this?

Thanks,
Andrew

before => Md5check["md5check-$name"]

When you do:

define md5check($foo = bar, $baz = monkey) { ... }

You are automatically getting a new component declaration.  Think of  
this in terms of having md5check "instantiating" a new instance of an
md5check object.  By having the capitalized
"Md5check["foo"]" you are
referencing that particular instance.

Thanks Adam.

I''ve tried this and receive the error:
Could not find type "md5check" in file ./libs/www.pp at line 56

md5check is in file "libs/security.pp" which has been imported (as
well as
all the other imports) in site.pp but in this case being referenced by
"libs/www.pp".

I believe I have a problem with the imports, even though I''ve followed
the
documentation. I''ve previously asked a question about this on the
mailing
list but haven''t yet received a solution so I might as well take the
opportunity here again.

The documentation says this:
"If nothing appropriate is found on the MODULE_PATH, puppet will try to
resolve the import relative to the directory containing the manifest doing
the import."

So, my understanding of this sentence is this (file contents first):

file: /srv/puppet/manifests/site.pp:
import "libs/www"
import "libs/security"
import "libs/file"
import "classes/gobbledegook"

node xyz {
   include gobbledegook
}

file: /srv/puppet/manifests/libs/www.pp:
import "security"

define wgetfile (...) {
...
}

define wgetfile-md5 (...) {
    wgetfile {....}
    md5check {....}
}

file: /srv/puppet/manifests/libs/security.pp:
define md5check (...) {
...
}

file: /srv/puppet/manifests/classes/gobbledegook.pp
define proccall (...) {
   wgetfile-md5 (...) {
   ...
   }
}

class gobbledegook {
   include proccall
}

As you can see I''ve imported everything in site.pp (as I''ve
previously had
problems importing elsewhere) so everything is loaded and is relatvie to
that directory.
What am I misunderstanding as I don''t seem to be able to get this
working?

Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Ok, it seems to be a bug in the version that I was using (0.20.1), seems to
be working better in the latest version.

Sorry for the hassle!

Andrew
