This has been covered relatively well by others, but I didn't see it called out explicitly, so I'll do it here: You should do everything you can to avoid overriding 'sync' and 'retrieve', and instead rely entirely on the providers for that functionality. In fact, in a future release, we plan on deprecating those methods and having the transaction just talk directly to the provider. As to support for 0.24.... well, you'll have to test that. :/ -- A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. -- William James --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies -|- http://puppetlabs.com -|- +1(615)594-8199 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
