Thanx, I wondered where that went.

Yup, we have no problem with that.
I'll start setting up some kind of sharing mechanism later this quarter.
To be honest they're currently in bad shape because we speed-rolled out
the recipes over our serverpark. In the meantime puppet upgraded from
23.1 to 24.1 which we didn't have time for.

So most of it are highly customized class-files tied closely to our
environment. I'll see if I can make some time this weekend to go through
them and see what's usable for the community.

We're planning to rewrite the entire library to module-based class files
over the next three months. Those would be far more useful to the wider
community, I was planning on releasing those.
