Issue #2658 has been updated by Luke Kanies.
Ok, this is *prototype* code, but I've got something up in my
features/master/2658-run_stages branch.
Here's the example config:
<pre>
stage { pre: before => Stage[main] }
stage { post: require => Stage[main] }
class foo {
notify { "foo": }
}
class bar {
notify { "bar": }
}
class baz {
notify { "baz": }
}
class { foo: stage => post }
class { bar: stage => pre }
class { baz: stage => main }
</pre>
In my testing, this results in a consistent order.
What I haven't done is, um, anything else. Basically, I don't yet know how
this will behave in a case of cross-stage relationships, or anything like that,
although it should, um, behave correctly.
The weird gotchas here:
* You have to specify the stage relationships; by default, order is completely
arbitrary.
* Stages only work when specified on classes; anything else is just completely
ignored.
Eh?

Feature #2658: Add puppet "run stages"
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2658
Author: Robin Bowes
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal

Affected version: 0.25.0

Branch:
Sometimes, there are certain specific manifests that you want to run before all
others.
Similarly, there may be others that you want to run after all others have
finished.
I'd like to see support for this added to puppet.
By default, all manifests would be "run" in the "main" stage. However, all
types would support an additional parameter: stage => 'pre' or stage => 'post.
Anything labelled as "pre" would be executed first, followed by anything
labelled "main" or with no explicit stage, then finally anything labelled
"post".
The stages could even be user-defined by specifying them in some config file,
eg:
[stages]
default=main
1=pre
2=main
3=post
Any support for this sort of idea?
