Feature #18490: Duplicate resources can make re-usable Forge modules difficult
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18490#change-81567

Author: Ryan Coleman
Status: Investigating
Priority: High
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: 
Target version: 3.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: backlog
Branch: 


[EDIT] Re-working this description based on feedback in comment #7. 

User installs module A to provide a web application. 

User installs module B to provide a database server.

Both module A and module B declare a package resource for foo. 

User declares classes from both module A and B on the same node.

User receives duplicate resource declaration error, Puppet run fails. 


I wish to prevent customers of Forge and Puppet from experiencing this 
frustration, when both classes really do need that package for their 
functionality but cannot be used together as-is. I'd love direct questions if 
you need to understand this better from my perspective.
