Overview

NOTE: I decided to split this package into smaller pieces in order to achieve better reusability. Now this module is only a "virtual" module with no contents and it only defines dependencies to other modules.

This is an enhanced version of puppet package resource and some of its providers.

This is a place, where I develop and test my extended version of puppet package resource with enhanced providers. The releases found at https://forge.puppetlabs.com/ptomulik/packagex are known to be functional and may be used with recent versions of puppet (3.2 and later).

Providers are developed in separate projects, but all the supported providers get installed as a dependencies of this module. Currently the ptomulik-packagex installs the following providers:

The resource type is developed in separate project as well, see ptomulik-packagex_resource.
