[Puppet Users] Package requires....

If I have a package { "foo": ensure => installed; require => something } in a module, AND I also have a Package { require => Class['yum::client']} in site.pp, what happens in the module? Does the package in the module require both 'something' and the yum::client class, or does the fact I specified

we are running at about 10-15% processor usage now, so it ain't even close to make or break. We run MySQL and apache on the same box too, so we can split them off if we need to. I was just wondering if one way was significantly more efficient than the other. --- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-56

Re: [Puppet Users] which is more efficient?

I'd say that "this way lies madness". Just do whatever gives you maintainability. The way that you source a file isn't going to make or break your server. (Unless you start embedding huge files in your manifest.) If small changes like this will break your server, your server will die the fir
