hello,
I am looking for a way to influence run order without also doing dependencies.
I have a case where I am removing a bit of software from my system and so as is
typical things need to be done in a different order from creation, crucially I
also do not really care if removal fails. It should just try to remove
everything
independent of each other - but at least in a given order so there's some chance
of it working.
There seems to be no way to influence order which does not also imply a
requirement
and so today the only way this is achieved is by invoking puppet 3 times with 3
different manifest files which seems horrible but that's the only way I can find
to achieve this as well.
I tried:
exec{"false": before => Exec["true"]}
exec{"true": }
This fails because before implies a requirement.
Surprisingly this also implies a requirement:
exec{"false": notify => Exec["true"]
exec{"true": }
Here the true exec is skipped when false exec fails, I really did not expect
this to be the case
