Issue #4067 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
This ticket is it Nick. We've been rather busy recently, and this hasn't been a particularly high priority task. I have similar questions. I'm worried about the relationship graph changing during the Puppet run, making it difficult to be satisfied that the correct graph is being merged into the Puppet-manifest specified graph if we only upload that graph at the start of the run. If we defer it to the client evaluation stage, and merge client-side, then the server doesn't have the actual version of the catalog that the client is applying, which also seems less than ideal. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4067: Automatic dependency resolution for package managers. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4067 Author: Trevor Vaughan Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Jesse Wolfe Category: package Target version: Statler Affected Puppet 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
