This library contains general-purpose utility code that can be used across all other apps and projects.
When considering submitting or reviewing contributions to this library, please try to make sure that the additions are truly general purpose and likely to be reasonable candidates for re-use in just about any other project. Things that are domain-specific for any subset of other Puppet Labs projects should probably not be included in this library.
Another consideration: the core namespace is prety large an unwieldy
in its current form, and should probably be broken into smaller, more
specific namespaces. If you are contributing new code and see a
reasonable way to break it off into a different namespace (perhaps moving
some of the existing code from core along to the new namespace with it),
please consider doing so.
Third-party patches are essential for keeping puppet open-source projects great. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes that allow you to get the most out of our projects. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things. For more info, see our canonical guide to contributing:
