Issue #6530 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Our general policy, as I understand it, and as communicated from Luke, is that 
we prefer not to add provider-specific directions to top level types at this 
time.

The context this came up was the 'purge' feature of Debian packages, but the 
same is pretty much true here.

I would generally recommend that this is better solved through installing the 
appropriate .gemrc file with settings to avoid making the changes, if at all 
possible.  Certainly, I don't see it as likely to ever be implemented for other 
providers.

Feature #6530: Do not generate rdoc and ri docs when installing gem packages
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6530

Author: Jonas Genannt
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: package
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: gem
Branch: 


I have created an patch for puppet. With this patch you can disabled to 
generate the RI and Rdoc generation on installing gem packages with the package 
provider.

This will speed up the installation of gem packages.

    
    package {
       "rails":
         ensure => "3.0.0",
         provider => gem,
         doc => false
    }
