Overview

Backport package_settings to older versions of Puppet.

The package resource has a package_settings feature and property in Puppet 3.5.0 and later. The property, however, is missing in older puppet versions. This module brings the package_settings feature back to any older version of Puppet if it doesn't have one.

Setup

Setup Requirements

You must enable pluginsync in your puppet.conf.

Beginning with backport_package_settings

To backport package_settings put the following line in front of your package provider:

require 'puppet/backport/type/package/package_settings'

To use package_settings, your provider should implement at least these methods:

  • package_settings
  • package_settings=(value)
  • package_settings_insync?(should,is)

It may also optionally implement the following methods:

  • package_settings_validate(value),
  • package_settings_munge(value),
  • package_settings_should_to_s(should,newvalue),
  • package_settings_is_to_s(should,currentvalue),
  • package_settings_change_to_s(currentvalue,newvalue)

Development
