James, I love the idea of this module but the wiki page you listed below is
fairly broken.  The syntax under anchor certainly wouldn''t parse, and
I''m staring at it and I''m not even sure what some of it is
intending to say...

Jo

The syntax does parse from what I can see and the wiki documentation is
automatically generated from the code inside the module so it''s not
100%
perfect yet and needs some more work. I''ll add a ticket mentioning the
documentation parser needs to be cleaned up a little or you''re welcome
to do the same!

The module contains additional documentation for the type that I''ve
reproduced below:

A simple resource type intended to be used as an anchor in a composite
class.

      class ntp {
        class { ''ntp::package'': }
        -> class { ''ntp::config'': }
        -> class { ''ntp::service'': }

        # These two resources "anchor" the composed classes
        # such that the end user may use "require" and
"before"
        # relationships with Class[''ntp'']
        anchor { ''ntp::begin'': }   -> class  {
''ntp::package'': }
        class  { ''ntp::service'': } -> anchor {
''ntp::end'': }
      }

This resource allows all of the classes in the ntp module to be
contained within the ntp class from a dependency management point of view.

This allows the end user of the ntp module to establish require and
before relationships easily:

      class { ''ntp'': } -> class {
''mcollective'': }
      class { ''mcollective'': } -> class {
''ntp'': }

Hope that helps!

Regards

James Turnbull

I assume these two statements are mutually exclusive, yah?

Yes they are, in the same catalog at least.
