## Overview

Backport `package_settings` to older versions of Puppet.

The `package` resource has a `package_settings` feature and property in Puppet

3.5.0 and later. The property, however, is missing in older puppet versions.

This module brings the `package_settings` feature back to any older version of

Puppet if it doesn't have one.

## Setup

### Setup Requirements

You must enable **pluginsync** in your `puppet.conf`.

### Beginning with backport_package_settings

To backport `package_settings` put the following line in front of your package

provider:

    require 'puppet/backport/type/package/package_settings'

To use `package_settings`, your provider should implement at least these

methods:

  - `package_settings`

  - `package_settings=(value)` 

  - `package_settings_insync?(should,is)` 

It may also optionally implement the following methods:

  - `package_settings_validate(value)`,

  - `package_settings_munge(value)`,

  - `package_settings_should_to_s(should,newvalue)`,

  - `package_settings_is_to_s(should,currentvalue)`,

  - `package_settings_change_to_s(currentvalue,newvalue)`

## Development
