The documentation has this to say about the Package type's 'source'
parameter
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.2.latest/type.html#package):
*source*Where to find the actual package. This must be a local file (or on
a network file system) or a URL *that your specific packaging type
understands*; Puppet will not retrieve files for you, although you can
manage packages as file resources.(emphasis added)
RPM does not understand URLs employing the 'puppet' protocol. You cannot
use Puppet's built-in file server as a substitute for a proper package
repository. You can, however, create a bona fide local repository of the
appropriate type for your native packaging system, and put your package
file(s) there. It could live on the same host as your Puppet master if you
prefer.
