Puppet users - Apr 2014 - Same methods in two providers - how to optimize it?

Hi,

I'm developing some of my custom types, and some of them share same params, 
with exactly the same methods...

For example, I have these params in three of my types and they are same:

lib/puppet/type/mytype1.rb
lib/puppet/type/mytype2.rb
lib/puppet/type/mytype3.rb

  newproperty(:comment) do
    defaultto ''
  end


Is there a way I can maybe extract that code into some external library and 
reuse it in all of my three types? Now, this definition is not a problem, 
but when you start to include various checks, and override methods like 
insync? and your param code grows to 30-40 lines, and you use it in 
multiple types, it gets usefull to extract that code to some external class 
and include it into these types.



I have same problem with methods in providers, for example:

lib/puppet/provider/mytype1/default.rb
lib/puppet/provider/mytype2/default.rb
lib/puppet/provider/mytype3/default.rb

all have for example:

  # sets comment
  def comment=(value)
    @property_hash[:comment]=(value)
  end

Is there a way to extract method provider into some external file and just 
include it somehow?


If it's possible I would like to escape a route of creating another custom 
type, and add its value to param of another custom type :-/
