Should you require all explicit dependencies when working with resources or can you "cheat" like the following: https://gist.github.com/4197521 Basically, should the File[''bas''] resource explicitly require File[''foo''] and File[''baz'']? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Mark, Dependencies can be ''chained'' exactly as you specified in your gist. File[''baz''] will indeed come after File[''foo''] and File[''bar''] without the explicit dependency on File[''bar''].

As for the ''SHOULD I do this?'' question, I think it''s a perfectly acceptable pattern as long as you understand that if File[''bar''] fails, File[''baz''] will NOT be evaluated/created. If that''s what you want, then that''s okay. If that''s NOT what you want, then you need to change the dependency.
