I'll be releasing a type/provider generator that creates these files with
basic code and unit tests in the next release of puppet-retrospec. You can
use right now if you want to compile the gem
yourself. https://github.com/nwops/puppet-retrospec/tree/development.
Types and providers are documented pretty good inside the source code, so
if your editor allows you to click on Parent classes and such (Rubymine)
its a little bit easier to see how things work and the Puppet Types and
Providers book by Nan Liu and Dan Bode is well written and can help explain
many things in a somewhat concise way.
