That repository source statement is pretty powerful stuff and will
help us out extremely here. Have you tried to get puppet to do
make install? The outcome is probably too variable anyhow.
That is pretty clear case syntax too. I have seen that on the

Here is some background on the freebsd provider giving the error:
"not in required origin format: .*/<port_category>/<port_name>"

I have been OK specifying only the package and not half of the ports
directory tree so far.
