Soooo.. what's the way to "officially" use or acquire this thing? $ puppet-module search stdlib returns puppetlabs/stdlib (2.3.1) so... use that? Is there a corresponding best-fit simple resource type already written to go along with it? Hmm.. I'm kinda leery of just typing "puppet-module install xyz", without knowing everything thats in it. Is there some undocumneted puppet-module command to show what will be installed, before actually installing it? Something named "stdlib" seems quite large. and how do I know it will work with my version of puppet? is the number in (), the version of the module, or the required version of puppet? puppet-module --help does not mention this sort of information. > > On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 11:46 AM, Philip Brown wrote: > >> >> >> On Monday, May 7, 2012 11:39:37 AM UTC-7, jcbollinger wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> You may be able to base your provider on the ParsedFile general- >>> purpose base provider, though I did not do that with mine. >>> >>> >> *Sounds* promising.
