Yes. Contrary to your assertion, you are not using the anchor pattern
correctly. Your contained classes are related only to the starting anchor,
not to the ending anchor. Correct use of the anchor pattern would look
more like this:
class profile::base {
anchor { 'base_repos_start': }
class { '::yum::repo::epel': require => Anchor['base_repos_start'],
before => Anchor['base_repos_end'] }
class { '::yum::repo::puppet': require => Anchor['base_repos_start'],
before => Anchor['base_repos_end'] }
anchor { 'base_repos_end': }
}
If you are using a sufficiently recent Puppet, however, then you should
instead use the new(ish) 'contain()' function
<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.4.stable/function.html#contain>.
In full generality that would look like this:
class profile::base {
class { '::yum::repo::epel': }
class { '::yum::repo::puppet': }
contain '::yum::repo::epel'
contain '::yum::repo::puppet'
}
Since your classes don't (any more) require any parameters to be specified
in your manifests, however, you can shorten that further to simply
class profile::base {
contain '::yum::repo::epel'
contain '::yum::repo::puppet'
}
