Issue #1643 has been updated by andrew.
After a little bit of investigation and discussion, the right thing to do is to verify that the behavior of both providers can be collapsed into one, then add a feature that allows providers to be aliased to maintain backward compatibility. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1643: package providers "sunfreeware" and "blastwave" inappropriate: should be pkgget http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1643 Author: ppbrown Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: andrew Category: package Target version: unplanned Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: I've noticed that you have two separate "package providers": puppet/provider/package/sunfreeware.rb puppet/provider/package/blastwave.rb This doesnt make sense, since the actual package mechanism is "pkg-get", and is common to both of them. Just as you provide a "dpkg" provider, it seems most appropriate that you should provide a "pkgget" provider. Additionally, as the author of pkg-get, I take exception to the description in "blastwave.rb", describing it as "Blastwave's pkg-get". It does not belong to blastwave. pkg-get belongs to me, specifically. Would you please remove both the sunfreeware.rb and blastwave.rb providers, and replace them with a generic "pkgget" or "pkg-get" provider file? a sample version (untested) is provided. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
