[Puppet Users] Why is 'notify' acting as a 'before' and not a 'require' ?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: How to inherit a parameterized class ? What is the syntax ?

Hi all, thanks for your answers, After some though and to keep it simple, i think the simplest way is to simply merge the two classes as you proposed, and decide the behaviour with a parameter. As stupid as it is, i admit i did not even though about it, i was seeing my current puppet class organis
