3.1 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Puppet HTTP MSI Fix

This module provides a fix for PUP-3317. Install this module into your control repository, or however you manage modules, and then use plugin sync to get the code to all of your agents.

This module does one thing only, and that is monkey-patches the Windows MSI package provider so that source parameters do not have their value munged if they're a valid URI string. This allows the following to work on windows.

package { '7zip':
  ensure => installed,
  source => 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/packages/7zip.msi',
}
