I imagine that someone could whip something better up (I spend most of my time in python) or at least throw together some tests and get this provider included in puppet. I intend to write the needed tests for this provider, but it is low on my list, and I have been very busy. As for testing the provider in the real world, I have it running on hundreds of servers, and have not had problems. If anyone is interested in whipping up some ruby tests for the provider I would greatly appreciate it, I am seeing a dramatic increase in Arch Linux use of puppet, and there are a few areas where Arch Linux support could be improved, and if puppet labs is interested in furthering Arch Linux support I will file the bugs and assist with the improvements as best as I can. -Thomas S Hatch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
