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.

pkg_updates

This module provides custom facts which return the packages with avaliable updates for various package management systems.

It is heavily based on https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-pkgupdates

Warning

This will add a few seconds of time to the start and end of your Puppet runs, as it will be running a command that can take some time. Bear that in mind!
