If that was the case, Juan wouldn't have told me in 
https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet/issues/1352#issuecomment-72649784 that I 
need to work with Puppet to do what I want. He seems to be saying that the 
generated files can indeed be edited.

When I asked Juan for help understanding the structure of the generated 
code so that I'd know where to customize 
(https://github.com/puphpet/puphpet/issues/1352#issuecomment-72766107), 
there was no response. He apparently doesn't have time to get into 
specifics.

The flavor I need is upTeX (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/uptex), which is a bit 
non-standard, but I see that there are more repos for texlive stuff than 
there were the last time I installed it, so I'll continue to investigate 
that. I thought I was clever when I found a Puppet module for texlive 
(https://github.com/andschwa/puppet-latex), but I apparently don't 
understand how to use it. In Puppetfile I put 
mod 'andschwa/puppet-latex', :git => 
'https://github.com/andschwa/puppet-latex.git'
but all I get is the module downloaded and unpacked, not installed. I also 
tried putting the contents of that github repo in puphpet/puppet/modules, 
but that didn't help.

The one I have been asking about all along is not really "software" per se, 
but nginx configuration file content. So far no one has suggested anything 
(even a link for more info) about how one gets that kind of thing into 
Puppet. I'm using a PHP framework called Phalcon that needs some special 
web server settings 
(http://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/nginx.html#configuration-by-host)
 
- I have it working on a VM, but I don't know how to get Puppet to create 
it the next time.
