The syntax does parse from what I can see and the wiki documentation is
automatically generated from the code inside the module so it's not 100%
perfect yet and needs some more work. I'll add a ticket mentioning the
documentation parser needs to be cleaned up a little or you're welcome
to do the same!
The module contains additional documentation for the type that I've
reproduced below:
A simple resource type intended to be used as an anchor in a composite
class.
class ntp {
class { 'ntp::package': }
-> class { 'ntp::config': }
-> class { 'ntp::service': }
# These two resources "anchor" the composed classes
# such that the end user may use "require" and "before"
# relationships with Class['ntp']
anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> class { 'ntp::package': }
class { 'ntp::service': } -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
}
This resource allows all of the classes in the ntp module to be
contained within the ntp class from a dependency management point of view.
This allows the end user of the ntp module to establish require and
before relationships easily:
class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
Hope that helps!
