The last step was fairly common in Puppet 2.7 code before Anchors.
Are you sure about that, Ramin? I've been around Puppet since well
before v2.7, and to the best of my knowledge, Class{'someclass':} (with
capital 'C') is and always has been syntactically invalid. I'm prepared
to learn something new today, but you'll need to point me to some docs
to support your assertion.
Myself, I'm inclined to guess that it's a simple typo, that an ordinary
resource-style class declaration (with lowercase 'c') is what was intended.
"I was looking at someone else's code one day last week and saw a
pattern I've not seen before." seems clear enough to me. Was pseudo code
and I didn't think to look at the syntax. Jumped straight to the
confusing part, a resource chain that ends on the class. I've answered
the same question several times in support of our Puppet system at work.
And then moved the module to contain... which generated more questions
about include vs require vs contain. No winning some days.
