Issue #11865 has been updated by Jeff McCune.
@kelsey I think doing as much as we can to help keep things in order is a great
idea. Based on the difficulty teaching module organization in training and the
results of Project Empathy, I think a solution that doesn't rely on convention
or implicit subdirectories is in order.
I think users prefer long, explicit URI's, to short, implicit URI's.
So maybe "puppet:///modules/mymodule/packages/solaris/CSWpkgutil.pkg"
Yes, it's long but it's a lot easier to explain to new users.
If we use "puppet:///modules/mymodule/foo.pkg"
We'll have to explain the following things to new puppet users
* Magic triple-slash
* Implicit 'packages' subdirectory
* Why it's 'packages' and not 'files' for file resources.
* implicit {pkgdmg, appdmg, msi, etc...} subdirectory and how to predict which
ones will be used.

Feature #11865: Package providers that support a "source" parameter should
allow for puppet:/// URL sources

Rather than having to store packages on an http server, it would be
significantly less friction if we could instead do:
<pre>
package { "foo":
source => "puppet:///modules/mymodule/foo.pkg",
}
</pre>
The providers that should support this are:
* pkgdmg
* appdmg
* msi
* dpkg
* rpm
As well as whatever Solaris providers work this way.
