(you'd get a faster response on the puppet-users list upstream) You really should go through the Language Tutorial. It answers this question. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#resource-defaults So here is how you would set an individual package: package { "foo": provider => "aptitude", ... } and here is how you would set it as a default for all packages (unless overridden in an individual package resource definition) Package { provider => "aptitude", } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
