[gentoo-soc] Puppet module for gentoo -- weekly report #1

[Vikraman]

Hello all,

I am working on improving the puppet-portage module[0], and the state of
gentoo support in upstream puppet modules. For the first few weeks, I
will concentrate on the puppet-portage module itself.

You can follow the development on my fork[1], and this wiki page[2].

Week #1
=======

Status: on schedule

During this week, I worked on adding slots support for the various
package_* types. You can now add a slot property for each of them, for
example,

package_keywords { 'sys-devel/gcc':
    version  => '4.8.1',
    slot     => '4.8',
    keywords => '~amd64',
    target   => 'gcc',
}

Also portage::package now takes *_slot property keys. A detailed diff is
available here[3].

For the next few days, I will work on tests for slots and move on to my
next objective, which is converting some of the defined types to native
types. Of course, there are a lot of new issues[4], so I might switch to
a different objective midway also.
