Overview
This is a Puppet custom provider for the package type called 'pmt', that allows you to manage installation, removal and upgrade of puppet modules.
Module Description
The provider shells out puppet using the puppet module face, the reason for not using the puppet module api directly in code was that the puppet execution responsible for ensuring state could inadvertently carry over configuration that affects what the state should look like. For example, --module_repository is set based on configuration or command line arguments to the puppet agent | apply execution, by shelling out the puppet command we have more flexibility in that regard since we can just parameterize the execution on our own.
