Bug #4657: Customer-supplied .rb files are not compatible with multiple 
environments or staleness check
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4657

Author: Paul Berry
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Paul Berry
Category: 
Target version: Statler
Affected version: 2.6.1rc3
Keywords: 
Branch: 


When a customer supplies a .rb file in place of a .pp file, the .rb file is 
executed using Kernel#require, and the ResourceTypeAPI dumps the created 
resources into the default environment's known_resource_types.  This has two 
negative effects:

(1) if there are multiple environments, then customer-supplied .rb files will 
only work within the default environment.

(2) if .pp files become stale (triggering a recompile), the customer-supplied 
.rb files won't be reloaded, because Kernel#require only executes each Ruby 
file once.
