hmm, you just need the pkg-get and wget binaries (or packages) and than puppet will use the blastwave provider. for the repo, it will used whatever defined in pkg-get.conf, in my case, we a few different packages (blastwave, home made etc) which we put in our "pkg-get repo", allowing puppet do use blastwave to download them I use the following script <http://pastie.org/302029> to generate the repo.
