IMO, best to keep it to "officially blessed" organization only.
If they want to do their own templating, they can already. That's what the "jump straight to puppet module build" thing that you suggested to me, is for, combined with their own git repository or something. But meanwhile, I have no template, so Im' still wondering where I put my type and resource provider files in this thing :-} "puppet module build" just seemed to create a "pkg" directory, and a tarfile. Without some output like the "generate" stuff, I still have been given no clue where or how it determines the contents for the tarfile, so I have no idea how to even get my files into it, let alone what the right place for them are. :( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
