A pkgin provider for puppet

On my Solaris machines at $WORK I use iMil‘s pkgin to install additional software. But until today, I add to do it by hand, on every machine… Not really what I like to do after a little more than a year using puppet. So I wrote a provider to manage packages with pkgin. It was very informative on puppet internals and I learned more about my favorite config management system.

Enough talking, here is the file : pkgin.rb

Example of use in a manifest :

class foo {
    package { "bla":
        ensure => installed,
        provider => pkgin
    }
}
