Resource Type: stage

A resource type for creating new run stages. Once a stage is available, classes can be assigned to it by declaring them with the resource-like syntax and using the stage metaparameter.

Note that new stages are not useful unless you also declare their order in relation to the default main stage.

A complete run stage example:

stage { 'pre':
  before => Stage['main'],
}

class { 'apt-updates':
  stage => 'pre',
}

Individual resources cannot be assigned to run stages; you can only set stages for classes.

stage { 'resource title':
  name => # (namevar) The name of the stage. Use this as the value for 
  # ...plus any applicable metaparameters.
}
