Issue #1853 has been updated by Miah Johnson.

Nico,

I started working on a rspec for this a few weeks ago (which is the only 
requirement preventing inclusion afaik) but then my hdd crashed. I just got 
things going again and am starting work on it. Moving, new job, lack of 
knowledge of rspec were my issues last year when I wrote this and I had hoped 
somebody would help me out. Sorry its taken me so long =)

Feature #1853: pacman package provider
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1853

Author: Miah Johnson
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: Low
Assigned to: 
Category: package
Target version: Statler
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: archlinux pacman
Branch: 


In my efforts to get Puppet working with Archlinux, I've created a package 
provider for Pacman.  I've done a bit of testing with it and it appears to work 
but I am a ruby novice so there may be some issues.  I mostly used the other 
package providers as examples and reused some existing code.  It was definitely 
fun and frustrating creating this =)  

- I took a look at adding tests for it, but I am at a loss, the only thing I 
see is adding package info to the testpackages.yaml file.  Please let me know 
if this is correct or if I need to do something else.

- The formatting of the file is a bit rough, is there a standard intentation 
for Puppet?

- I also have a small patch for facter that allows it to detect if the system 
is Archlinux. I'll submit a seperate ticket with that patch in the facter mine.
