composer overwritten after self-update

[jamesj2]

I upgraded to version 1.3.7 because composer wasn't getting automatically updated. After replacing the require ::composer with include ::composer in the selfupdate define I was able to get around the dependency cycle. Then I realized selfupdate was running but then it would be overwritten with the file stored in the /tmp directory. To fix this behaviour I added a replace=>false attribute to the file copy. Also it doesn't make sense if selfupdate runs before installing composer. Maybe I'm using it wrong. I simply call the composer class with a couple params provided by hiera.

    # move file to target_dir
    file { "${target_dir}/${composer_file}":
      ensure    => present,
      source    => "${tmp_path}/composer.phar",
      require   => [ Exec['download_composer'], File[$target_dir] ],
      mode      => '0755',
      replace   => false
    }

classes:
  - composer

composer::user: nobody
composer::auto_update: true
composer::php_package: "php-5.4-bin-zend-server"
