Create source defined type

[logicminds]

Currently there is no provider to allow us to manage/configure the actual installation for chocolatey. For example if I want to add new choco sources via puppet I would have to execute powershell commands. I could see a bunch of types/providers to manage choco but for my immediate needs I only want to configure the sources.

It would be nice to do the following:

choco::source{'artifactory server':
    ensure => present,
    url        => 'http://artifactory.company.corp:8223',
}

I'm assuming you want other defined types, but this is a good start.

Just as an FYI, PL may be picking up some of the work here unless community gets to it first https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3428

I am just started to get into choco so I don't know what else I need.

@logicminds you are coming in at a good time, but at a transition - there is a release candidate out for the rewrite, which fixes an entire world of issues of the old POSH (powershell) chocolatey client.

Take a look at the release notes at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/ReleaseNotes and if you have questions or concerns, feel free to drop into Gitter and chat with the team at https://gitter.im/chocolatey/choco

posh chocolatey has a config file that can be managed using a file resource and put into an early stage.

This is ready for anyone to pick up now - if community gets to it first, that would also be fine.
