Puppet users - Aug 2012 - Installing from alternat repositories with puppet module

Hi,

From the puppet module tool documentation, I note that it is possible to specify
an alternate repository to install modules from
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_installing.html#installing-from-another-module-repository).

Other than some unresolved newsgroup questions and
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5033, I can''t find any
information on how to set up an alternative repository.

Am I missing something, or is this option just for future use?

Ryan provided a response a while back, and the ticket is probably the
best place to comment on it.

Hi,
 
The link doesn''t work for me but I see some posts from Ryan about
hosting
local forges. I''ll focus on the ticket for that.
 
My question was more: "if there is no current support for local forges, 
what is the --module_repository switch for?". Can you point it at something
less than a fully functional forge? Does a simple directory structure, 
which mimcs the layout of the forge''s archives, behind a web server do
the
trick?

Yeah, he will have much better insight about the plans.

No, the server needs to return metadata about the modules. The flag at
the moment is only useful for internal development testing.
