Hello,
i am new to puppet and have a question. Could it be that the Type
Reference [1] for "file" is incomplete? I am missing the
"require"
statement, because sometimes you want copy the file, after the package
was installed.
For example:
# /etc/puppet/modules/motd/manifests/init.pp
class motd {
package { "cowsay":
ensure => present,
}
file { "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh":
source => "puppet:///modules/motd/bootmisc.sh",
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 0755,
require => Package["cowsay"],
}
}
# vim: tabstop=3
Regards, Dennis

The reason it''s not listed in the file resource docs is because it''s a metaparameter that applies to all resource types. http://reductivelabs.com/static_files/TypeReference.html#available-metaparameters> For example: > > # /etc/puppet/modules/motd/manifests/init.pp > > class motd { > package { "cowsay": > ensure => present, > } > > file { "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh": > source => "puppet:///modules/motd/bootmisc.sh", > owner => "root", > group => "root", > mode => 0755, > require => Package["cowsay"], > } > } > > # vim: tabstop=3 > > Regards, Dennis > > [1] http://reductivelabs.com/static_files/TypeReference.html > >-- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Require is a metaparameter, and it works on all types, even on defines. See http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html for more details and other metaparameters.
