Hi all,
Is it possible to override the behaviour of all instances of a
resource from a module?
I would like to have my "apt" module add a requirement for
Exec["apt-
get update"] to all Package resources.
putting
Package { require => Exec["apt-get update"] }
in the module itself won''t work, since the scope of that will only be
in the module itself.
using
Package <| |> { require => Exec["apt-get update"}
will do what I want, but it has the side-effect of realizing all
virtual resources. many of which I don''t want.
Any options?

Just put: Package { require => Exec["apt-get update"] } in the root of your manifests. One typical place is the beginning of site.pp. Technically, I recommend putting all your package init in a class, and requiring that class in Package like this: Package { require => Class["apt-presetup"] } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
