This is pretty easy to do; the functionality is built into puppet. You
just have to add a File resource for the directory, and set recurse =>
true, purge => true, like so:
file { '/etc/apache/sites-enabled':
ensure => 'directory',
recurse => true,
purge => true,
}
Make sure you read the documentation for details:
