Hi I have only recently started using modules off the forge and running a recent version of Puppet (the majority of our network is still utilising 0.25.4). I spent a significant amount of time ensuring that dependencies in our existing Puppet implementation result in a single Puppet run will always succeed with the intended config applied to a node.
When making use of puppetlabs-apt I notice that there is nothing included in that module that would make the Exec['apt_update'] run before other package resources in my catalogue. My thought would be to add something like this to update.pp: Exec['apt_update'] -> Package <| title != "python-software-properties" and title != "software-properties-common" |> I have also tried using the tag metaparameter ( tag != "apt" ) but then ended up with a dependency cycle. Does anyone have an opinion as to why this is a terrible idea? I ask because I have submitted a pull request for the change prior to reading the very informative page about contributing to puppetlabs modules and would value any community feedback on my approach.
