You probably have some kind of "base" or "our_site" module already that

Both recommendations on whether or not that's a good idea *and* examples

Advanced examples with create_resources() mig
might go about developing your own (perhaps
one for a database). See

Groups[$groups_as_array] -> User[$username]

specifically packaging the software and creating a local repo with the
software in it. You just need to define your repo to puppet and then
use a very standard "package" resource to make it present.
Note the yumrepo resource type

If it does, then using just the "package" resource should be enough to
get it installed. On a CentOS client, you shouldn't need to do anything
with "provider" and you shouldn't need to set "source". If it'

Note that if your puppet master is a client of itself (or some other
puppet master) then the puppet agent running there still needs to be
run as root. The agent enforces the state, which requires administrative
access. The master calculates the s

2.7.20 that allows it to work again.
My recommendation is that you install 3.0.x somewhere, install
puppet-lint, and use puppet-lint and "puppet parser validate" on your
manifests. Study the output from both, and adjust accordingly.
