## Caution
This is an experimental module. It may be substantially changed, renamed or
removed at all without a notice. Do not use in production.
## Overview
**NOTE**: The `build_options` property is being renamed to `package_settings`.
Currently it's a transition period so you may use one or the other. The
`build_options` will be removed in next major release.
This is an enhanced version of puppet *package* resource. Providers for this
resource type are developed as separate modules. Currently I've developed
[portsx](https://github.com/ptomulik/puppet-packagex_portsx) provider, which is
an enhanced and bug-fixed version of puppet's *ports* provider.
## Module Description
The module re-implements puppet package resource adding some crucial features
to it and its providers. Currently new features include:
* *package_settings* - a property (ensurable) that allows defining additional
options for package.
* *build_options* - is an "alias" for *package_settings*; don't use both at
the same time for a given resource instance!
The *package_settings* are independent of the well known *install_options* and
*uninstall_options*. The definition of *package_settings* is generally
provider-specific. Whereas *install_options* and *uninstall_options* are just
parameters (not ensurable), the *package_settings* is a fully featured
property, that is the settings may be ensured on a package. See
[portsx](https://github.com/ptomulik/puppet-packagex_portsx) provider for an
example implementation of package settings.
## Setup
### What packagex affects
* installs, upgrades, reinstalls and uninstalls packages.
### Setup Requirements
You may need to enable **pluginsync** in your `puppet.conf`.
### Beginning with packagex
Its usage is essentially same as for the original *package* resource.
## Usage
Its usage is essentially same as for the original *package* resource.
## Limitations
Currently nothing special.
