Puppet users - May 2011 - node class include vs module include

Hey,

Im trying to use the puppet vcsrepo module, one of the issues I had
with it is that its required to have a vcs installed before the plugin
is used within a class or else it fails with:

 err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a
default provider for vcsrepo

Iv solved this by requiring git installation before the first vcsprepo
usage.

This solution is not optimal since it requires me to keep track where
vcsrepo is used for the first time so iv decided to create a seperate
class for git installation, this class has parameter (user & email)
for the git global configuration,

In my site.pp im using:

class basenode {
  class { git: user=> $www_user, email => $email}
  include "build_essential"
  include "vim-src"
  class { vim-configuration: user => $user}
  class { "zsh": user => $user}
  include "zsh_configuration"
  class { "z": user => $user}
  include "local_security"
  include "apt"
  include "apt::unattended-upgrade::automatic"
}

Yet iv found out that git gets isn''t installed before the first time
vcsrepo is used (vim_configuration in this case),

Is there a reason why class gets compiled after included modules?

Is there a better way to solve this?

Thanks
Ronen

I would also expect

Class["git"] -> Vcsrepo <| |>

to work, but it doesn''t
