4.6 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.

Manage locales via Puppet

Supported Puppet versions

Usage

By default, en and de locales will be generated.

  class { 'locales': }

Configure a bunch of locales.

  class { 'locales':
    locales   => ['en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8', 'fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8'],
  }

Advanced usage allows you to select which locales will be configured as well as the default one.

  class { 'locales':
    default_locale  => 'en_US.UTF-8',
    locales         => ['en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8', 'fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8'],
  }

You can also set specific locale environment variables. See the locale man-page for available LC_* environment variables and their descriptions:

  class { 'locales':
    default_locale  => 'en_US.UTF-8',
    locales         => ['en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8', 'fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8', 'en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8', 'de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8' ],
