+100 for Type/Provider separation.
I remember the good old days quite well and was really happy when
that got split out.

The discussion seems to go in the direction of not having a provider.
easy_type is by no means at all meant to stop using a provider.
Actually, it is by no means a total replacement for the Type and
Provider pattern. What it is, is an add-on module for people, less
knowledgeable about Puppet (and the intricacies of Types and
providers) to have a custom type for an easy kind of resource.
Probably only on one kind of OS.
That said about the current discussion, what I like about the
discussion, is that we seem to all have the idea, it should be easier
to make custom types. While we disagree on (at least some) of the
directions I took with easy_type. Why not turn this into a discussion
on what we would like to see in an easy way to build a type.
I'l start, but please join:
- A way to keep it close to people who know about the resource, but
less about Puppet
- Be able to easy abstract different OS-es and version (Like the
current provider
- Make it easier to call a set of standard available (and extendable)
validators
- Make it easier to call a set of standard available (and extendable)
mungers.
- Make it easy to gradually build the os command by stating a base
part and extending it if a property or a name is specified in the
resource definition.
