RE: [Fab-user] order control

[Jeff Honey]

<snip>
from fabric.api import *

env.hosts = ['foo1.com', 'foo2.com', 'foo3.com', 'foo4.com', 'foo5.com', 
'foo6.com']

def putfile():
 put(r'c:\blah.txt', '/tmp/')
 run('touch /tmp/blah.txt')
</snip>

I checked and double-checked that there were no dupes in my list. Previously it 
was using this:

<snip>
from fabric.api import *

env.roledefs = {
    'servers': ['foo1.com', 'foo2.com', 'foo3.com', 'foo4.com', 'foo5.com', 
'foo6.com'],
    }

@roles('servers')
def putfile():
 put(r'c:\blah.txt', '/tmp/')
 run('touch /tmp/blah.txt')
</snip>

...the behaviour I was expecting was for the function 'pufile()' to happen on 
foo1.com first and then go through the rest of the list in order.

If I recall the hosts all get sent through a set() conversion to remove
duplicates, that would make the order undefined. Do you have an example fabfile
we can look at?
