Overview

Simple module to manage vendored code.

To vendor a library:

  • Download its whole git repo or untar into ‘lib/puppet/vendor/<libname>`

  • Create a vendor/puppetload_libraryname.rb file to add its libdir into the $:. (Look at existing load_xxx files, they should all follow the same pattern).

  • Add a <libname>/PUPPET_README.md file describing what the library is for and where it comes from.

  • To load the vendored lib upfront, add a ‘require ’<vendorlib>‘`line to `vendor/require_vendored.rb`.

  • To load the vendored lib on demand, add a comment to ‘vendor/require_vendored.rb`

    to make it clear it should not be loaded upfront.

At runtime, the #load_vendored method should be called. It will ensure all vendored libraries are added to the global ‘$:` path, and will then call execute the up-front loading specified in `vendor/require_vendored.rb`.

The intention is to not change vendored libraries and to eventually make adding them in optional so that distros can simply adjust their packaging to exclude this directory and the various load_xxx.rb scripts if they wish to install these gems as native packages.
