2011-08-18Docs: Update documentation of stdlib classesnfagerlund
This commit edits the puppetdoc text of the stdlib and stdlib::stages classes to remove redundancy and add additional information.
2011-05-26Move stages to after mainJeff McCune
Working with the stages in stdlib, I quickly ran into an issue where most of the stages were before the main stage. This made it difficult to declare any resources in a traditional "include" style class while hiding the end user from the stages being associated with other module classes. For example, in class mcollective, a package would be declared in main. However, if mcollective declared class mcollective::service in stage infra_deploy and this was before main, there would be a dependency loop between the package and the service. There appears to be a convention around "chain your stages after main" to avoid the need to create relatively empty shell classes.
2011-05-24Add standard set of run stages.Jeff McCune
Many modules I'm working on need a standard but relatively granular location in the catalog. For example, any module that configures the packaging system should run "early" Add the following stages which have inter-dependencies in the top to bottom order listed: * setup * deploy * runtime * setup_infra * deploy_infra * main * setup_app * deploy_app
