Bug #3793: Freebsd ports package redo
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3793

Author: Ross West
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: FreeBSD
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: freebsd, package provider, ports, portupgrade
Branch: http://github.com/westr/puppet/tree/feature/master/portupgrade


Backstory: There are 2 package providers supplied for freebsd - one for freebsd 
packages (:freebsd), and one for ports (:ports).  Freebsd's ports is the most 
commonly used system for freebsd as it contains instructions and patches for 
compiling software from source.

The current package :ports utilizes a common 3rd party software (portupgrade) 
system to manage (install/version/etc) the ports system which remains 
unchanged.  This ticket/code is to replace that provider.

":ports" provider contains a few issues that are addressed in this replacement
* ensure=>latest is broken
* unable to deal with multi-versions of a software port (eg: mysql50, mysql51, 
etc)
* uninstall can fail

Incompatible change with this new package:
* package name needs to be the full port origin (eg: databases/mysql51-client)
 
Configuration example:
     
package { "shells/bash":
        provider => portupgrade,
        alias   => "bash",
        ensure  => latest,
}
