Bret,
Puppet lets you use arrays to make your manifests more concise. In this case,
if these 30 package resources differ only in name, i.e. all their parameters
are the same except for the package name, then you can use this following to
make the dependency declaration less cumbersome:
package { [ "pkg1",
"pkg2",
.
.
"pkg30" ]:
ensure => installed,
before => File['file2'],
}
file { 'file2':
ensure => file,
path => "/path/to/file2",
content => "I exist only after all 30 packages are installed.",
}
