Puppet users - Jul 2012 - Custom ruby modules/classes, standard namespacing, pluginsync, etc.

still pretty new to Ruby, please bare with me :) Say I have a module
with a custom type, structured like so:

[modules]/mymodule/manifests/init.pp
[modules]/mymodule/lib/puppet/provider/mytype/foo.rb
[modules]/mymodule/lib/puppet/type/mytype.rb

In foo.rb, I''d like to call some custom ruby functions in a module and/
or class. These are generic functions that may be used in other
modules, e.g. md5.rb with a collection of MD5 functions/methods.

I was thinking a generic ''custom'' module laid out something
like

[modules]/custom/lib/puppet/md5.rb
[modules]/custom/lib/puppet/networking.rb

What''s the best place to put these so they get autoloaded by
pluginsync, and what is the preferred approach for namespacing?
Basically how do I require these within other modules.

Poking around the forge, I''ve seen things like

[modules]/custom/lib/puppet/util/md5.rb

and

[modules]/custom/lib/puppet/modules/md5.rb

But often there seem to be hacks used to load these.

Regards,

Adam
