I seem to be missing something here. Perhaps there is a subtlety that I do
not appreciate, on account of my intentional avoidance of run stages in my
own manifests. Based on the nature of the relationships you are trying to
set up (with all the apt sources applied before any packages) I infer that
"later" refers to parse order, but what does that have to do with which
stages your classes are assigned to?
Here is an example of what I would expect to work, where "work" in this
case means that on node 'myserver', class 'role42' is assigned to stage
'main', whereas class 'role42::apt' that it declares is assigned to stage
'apt-config':
stage { 'apt-config': before => Stage['main'] }
node myserver {
class { 'role42': stage => 'main' }
}
class role42 {
class { 'role42::apt'
stage => 'apt-config'
}
}
class role42::apt {
apt::source { 'role42-source':
# ...
}
}
In other words, you should at any point in your manifest, from a class
assigned to any stage, be able to declare a class into whatever stage you
want (provided it has not already been declared elsewhere, of course). Or
that's my expectation, anyway. Does it not actually work?
