Do this on a solaris 11 box: (go to the package providers dir) cp pkg.rb pkg_test.rb (edit pkg_test.rb and change "pkg" class identity references to pkg_test) (I think that means just changing the first ":pkg" to ":pkg_test" ? ) puppet resource --debug package gnu-patch provider=pkg_test You will then see debug output by practically all other package providers. I suppose I should mention that the puppet version I'm using, is that autobuilt by ruby gems. 2.7.18 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
