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': }

Puppet Labs Standard Library
This module provides a "standard library" of resources for developing Puppet Modules. This modules will include the following additions to Puppet
- Stages
- Facts
- Functions
- Defined resource types
- Types
- Providers
This module is officially curated and provided by Puppet Labs. The modules Puppet Labs writes and distributes will make heavy use of this standard library.
Compatibility
This module is designed to work with Puppet version 2.6 and later. It may be forked if Puppet 2.7 specific features are added. There are currently no plans for a Puppet 0.25 standard library module.
