maybe I am missing something here but a) a resource relationship that is autorequired can be overwritten with explicit requires (at least last time I checked). So while dependency cycles can occur, you are likely to resolve them with some explicit requires) b) a file resource (symlink) already autorequires its target since puppet 2.7.10 (https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5421) - Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
