A discussion on IRC about having classes that depend on each other
sometimes (i.e. a munin class that needs to do mysql-specific things
on those hosts where mysql is installed) reminded me of a feature
I've wanted for some time in puppet, that I don't think I ever
actually shared/asked about:
I've been wanting something like require => that only kicksoff if
the required thing is actually defined. So you could do:
file { "munin.d/mysql-config":
require_if_exists => Package[mysql]
}
and if Package[mysql] isn't set up anywhere, nothing happens.
Does this seem reasonable to people? If so, where should I put it
in as a feature request?
