It is difficult to use existance of keys in a hash
as a boolean condition in Puppet (see #8705)
This function provides a working solution until
the underlying issue in Puppet can be resolved.

This change adds a loadyaml() puppet function that takes a path to a
YAML data file and returns the contents as a Puppet variable. There is
currently no validation of the contents of the file.
This commit is intentionally lacking unit tests because of time
constraints.

This commit adds a native type that can check if
a line exists and append it to a file.
This use case seems common enough to warrant its
inclusion into stdlib.

These tests run through a number of example cases and exercise the
behavior of the validate_hash function.
To run, simple execute rspec validate_hash_spec.rb
This isn't directly related to #8010, but rather indirectly fills the
need to allow the end user to configure where data values are looked up.
This allows the namespace to be passed as a class parameter. A module
may then quickly and easily look up data from the user-defined
namespace.
This file is generated from the puppet-module build command and should
not be included in the repository. If it is, the repository is not
directly usable on a Puppet master because the metadata.json is invalid.
Unlike the whit type the anchor type derives from, we are not hacking
the stringify method. We expect the resource to be named simply
Anchor[foo::bar] where the name is "foo::bar".
With Puppet 2.6.x we do not have a way to specify containment
relationships. In the use case of class ntp { } declaring
ntp::{package,config,service} classes, the ntp class itself should allow
the user to specify before and require relationships to the main ntp
class.
The anchor resource type allows module authors to close the loop on
classes composing the main top level module. For example:
class ntp {
class { 'ntp::package': }
-> class { 'ntp::config': }
-> class { 'ntp::service': }
# These two resources "anchor" the composed classes
# such that the end user may use "require" and "before"
# relationships with Class['ntp']
anchor { 'ntp::begin': } -> class { 'ntp::package': }
class { 'ntp::service': } -> anchor { 'ntp::end': }
}
Using this pattern, the module user may then simply declare relationships to
the ntp class as they expect:
class { 'ntp': } -> class { 'mcollective': }
# OR
class { 'mcollective': } -> class { 'ntp': }
