Puppet Module Repository isn’t just for modules
You can store more than just your modules at the Forge.
I just added my types and providers to my collection of modules at the new Puppet Module Forge. I’d love to all those people maintaining types and providers, functions, and facts add theirs to the Forge also. It’s a cool way to share your code (and the site allows you to provide links back to your code repository and ticketing system so user’s can report bugs). In time I hope most people’s environments will consist of the core types and providers bundled with Puppet and a selection of cool code generated by the community and sourced from the Puppet Forge.
Puppet Forge in beta!
The Puppet Forge AKA the Puppet Module Repository is live and operational. It’s a store of Puppet modules (and types and providers) that allows you to share your awesome code and modules with others.
It also comes with the puppet-module tool that allows you to build modules for, manage and install modules from the forge. You can install puppet-module via a gem:
$ sudo gem install puppet-module
Both the site and tool are in public beta right now so hammer away at it and tell us what you think!
