Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the help!
# Fact: package_provider
#
# Purpose: Returns the default provider Puppet will choose to manage
packages
# on this system
#
# Resolution: Instantiates a dummy package resource and return the provider
#
# Caveats:
#
require 'puppet/type'
require 'puppet/type/package'
Facter.add(:package_provider) do
setcode do
if defined? Gem && Gem::Version.new(Facter.value(:puppetversion).split('
')[0]) >= Gem::Version.new('3.6')
Puppet::Type.type(:package).newpackage(:name => 'dummy', :allow_virtual
=> 'true')[:provider].to_s
else
Puppet::Type.type(:package).newpackage(:name => 'dummy')[:provider].
to_s
end
end
end
