Jira (PUP-1125) Exec checks should be turned into metaparameters

[Frederik Wagner (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Frederik Wagner commented on an issue   Re: Exec checks should be turned into metaparameters A usecase which I hit multiple times is be for the package type: Install Package A only if Package B ist not installed @John: I agree it's more an imparitive/scriptlike way of using puppet here. Anyway a common usecase (in particular for installation of badly packaged 3rd party vendor software). For now this is easily solved by an exec statement, but then the advantages of the usage of the existing types are lost. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1125 Exec checks should be turned into metaparameters The 'checks' in Exec -- refreshonly, onlyif and unless -- should be changed into metaparameters, so they're available for all resource types. My guess is that this will require defining a new type of metaparameter, in the same way that the Exec checks are a slightly different type of parameter.
