Feature #4067: Automatic dependency resolution for package managers.
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4067

Author: Trevor Vaughan
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal

Category: package
Target version: Statler
Affected version: development
Keywords: package, auto-generation, graph
Branch: 


Various parties have indicated that they would like Puppet to seamlessly 
integrate with the relevant package manager's dependency resolution ability if 
possible.

Situation: If you have RPMs A and B, where B depends on A and Puppet objects 
that depend on one, or more, of the RPMs, then Puppet should automatically add 
relevant ordering objects to properly order the RPM dependencies.

Example:

RPM A
RPM B
B -> A

package { "B":
  ensure => 'latest'
}

file { "foo":
  require => Package['B']
}

Should this manifest be activated, Puppet should automatically, generate an 
internal dependency from B to A and insert it into the dependency graph.

This is an obviously contrived example, but there are situations where you 
would want this type of thing to happen for more complex scenarios.
