Puppet users - Jul 2007 - Yumrepo''s subscribe ran before package require Yumrepo?

I am trying to set a "subscribe" for a Yumrepo object so that an Exec
"yum
clean all" is ran immediately after a Yumrepo is changed. With the
following
setup, I am not seeing the "subscribe" fire off until after Packages
that
have a require pointing to the Yumrepo["custom"] are attempted to be
installed.

Is in right to expect that the subscribe on the Yumrepo object should get
triggered before the packages that require that Yumrepo are
installed/created?

You''ve only said that the exec and all of the packages should get run  
after the yumrepo, you haven''t said anything about the
packages''
relationship to the exec, so Puppet doesn''t know where the exec  
should fall.

You should have your packages depend on the exec, not the yumrepo.
