One of the *big* benefits of providers is that it is now easy to
document the different backends available to you. Puppet will
automatically collect all of the docs for your providers and stick
them in the autogenerated docs page. For instance, check out the
package docs:
http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/
typedocs.html#package
I''m also adding what the providers know about required binaries, so
that should make things a bit clearer. Not all of the providers are
as clear as they could be on what binaries are required, and binaries
will sometimes be unqualified when the docs are generated, but it''s a
good start, anyway.
