Feature #7788: Puppet should allow rubygems to deliver new functionality
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7788#change-69692

Author: R.I. Pienaar
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: plug-ins
Target version: 3.0.0
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: rubygems autoloader
Branch: 
https://github.com/kelseyhightower/puppet/tree/feature/3.0rc/autoloader_works_with_rubygems


It would be desirable to use Rubygems to install things like parser functions. 

There might be cases where you only want a function on the master, pluginsync 
would copy it everywhere and everywhere might not have the dependencies needed 
to run it.

If the autoloader considered the rubygem search path while autoloading this 
should allow gems to extend puppet.

Update: Just to be clear, this ticket is about whether Puppet should allow 
rubygems as a delivery mechanism for Puppet extensions like parser functions, 
Faces, types and more. If added in, you could deliver Puppet extensions via 
modules with pluginsync and via installing a Ruby gem. Both the Puppet DSL and 
Puppet's Ruby DSL would be untouched.
