Issue #5951 has been updated by Matt Robinson.

I'm going through old email and saw that there was code for this that wasn't 
sent out using `rake mail_patches` so it doesn't show up in our list of patches 
to review (https://patchwork.puppetlabs.com/project/puppet/list/).  I also saw 
there was some discussion about this vs #4996.  What's the status of this 
ticket?  Is it necessary to do a rewrite if #4996 gets in?  Are people using 
this in production?  Do more tests need to be written?

Feature #5951: Freebsd Package Manager rewrite (as fbsd)
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5951

Author: Ross West
Status: Ready For Testing
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: FreeBSD
Target version: Statler
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: package provider, freebsd, ports
Branch: http://github.com/westr/puppet/tree/feature/master/5951


A re-write of the Freebsd package manager (freebsd.rb) to fix a couple of 
things (package file source selection, etc) and support upgrading of packages - 
all using only base OS tools.  This manager does not compile ports, and only 
works on .tbz package files.

Features: installable, uninstallable, upgradeable.

Notes:   

  * :name - must be the "port origin", not the package (short) name.
  * :source - must be the specific local file or URL to path 

Configuration example:

    package { "shells/bash":
      provider => fbsd,
      alias    => bash,
      source   => "/path/to/local/package.tbz"
      ensure   => latest,
    }
