Unfortunately, not possible. There is some hope that this will
work at least a little bit better in Puppet 0.26 (or whatever it
will be called), but currently you are out of luck.
This isn't quite the same - we have a custom package provider (as test to
show we could do it) - what we're doing is specifying different "modulepath"
for each environment in the server's puppet.conf file.
To make it work we had to put the provider in our puppetmaster's
$libdir/puppet/provider/package directory, as well as the right place in the
module..
That seems to be working for us.
We haven't tried creating a separate type though..
For custom types and custom functions, puppetmasterd will only
look at the *global* value of modulepath, i.e the one you have
set under [puppetmasterd] or under [main]. The modulepath you
have set under each environment will not be used for those. You
didn't have a global modulepath setting at all in puppet.conf;
you need to add one to get plugins in modules to work *at*all*.
So it doesn't look at "modulepath" under an environment definition in the
puppet.conf on the pupetmaster?
It does for *delivering* to clients, but for validating the manifests
in order to turn them into a catalog, it looks at the local libdir for
the puppetmaster.
As Thomas says in the next message that just arrived, functions are
different as they execute on the server, and types are different due
to parameter validation being employed.
The problem I reported on puppet-dev with providers being pulled in is
only if you're setting global resource defaults in your manifests.
ahh.. ok. Thanks,
