I’ve been helping with the development of librarian-puppet, pushing upstream a lot of fixes we had made in the past and applying long outstanding pull requests in the project in order to get a release out, and finally you can get the (probably) last release before 1.0.0 which should be stable enough for day to day use.

Besides bug fixes probably the best feature is the ability of reusing the Modulefile dependencies by creating the simplest Puppetfile, if you only need modules from the Puppet Forge

forge "http://forge.puppetlabs.com"

modulefile
