This commit tweaks the docs for the anchor resource type to give more context
for its existence.

This commit clarifies the behavior of the file_line resource type.
|
|
Without this patch the resource whole_line would be included in the
stable stdlib module shipping in PE 1.2. Ideally the name will be
stable and unchanging in the future.
There was quite a bit of concern over whole_line being an unwise name.
file_line appears to be the most suitable name and least likely to need
another rename in the future.
|
|
Changed the type name from append_line to
whole_line.
After feedback that having a type with a verb in
the name was confusing.
|
|
This commit adds a native type that can check if
a line exists and append it to a file.
This use case seems common enough to warrant its
inclusion into stdlib.

With Puppet 2.6.x we do not have a way to specify containment
relationships. In the use case of class ntp { } declaring
ntp::{package,config,service} classes, the ntp class itself should allow
the user to specify before and require relationships to the main ntp
class.
The anchor resource type allows module authors to close the loop on
classes composing the main top level module. For example:
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': }
}
Using this pattern, the module user may then simply declare relationships to
the ntp class as they expect:
class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
# OR
class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
