+A Puppet module that can construct files from fragments.
+
+Please see the comments in the various .pp files for details
+as well as posts on my blog at www.devco.net
+
+Released under the Apache 2.0 licence
+
+KNOWN ISSUES:
+- In 0.24.8 you will see inintended notifies, if you build a file
+ in a run, the next run will also see it as changed. This is due
+ to how 0.24.8 does the purging of unhandled files, this is improved
+ in 0.25.x and we cannot work around it in our code.
+
+- At present you cannot change the ownership of the file by just setting
+ the property on the resources, we have a work around in mind.
+
+CHANGELOG:
+- 2010/02/19 - initial release
+- 2010/03/12 - add support for 0.24.8 and newer
+ - make the location of sort configurable
+ - add the ability to add shell comment based warnings to
+ top of files
+ - add the ablity to create empty files
+- 2010/04/05 - fix parsing of WARN and change code style to match rest
+ of the code
+ - Better and safer boolean handling for warn and force
+ - Don't use hard coded paths in the shell script, set PATH
+ top of the script
+ - Use file{} to copy the result and make all fragments owned
+ by root. This means we can chnage the ownership/group of the
+ resulting file at any time.
+ - You can specify ensure => "/some/other/file" in concat::fragment
+ to include the contents of a symlink into the final file.
+- 2010/04/16 - Add more cleaning of the fragment name - removing / from the $name
+
+CONTRIBUTORS:
+Paul Elliot - Provided 0.24.8 support, shell warnings and empty file
+ creation support.
+Chad Netzer - Various patches to improve safety of file operations
+ - Symlink support
+David Schmitt - Patch to remove hard coded paths relying on OS path
+ - Patch to use file{} to copy the resulting file to the
+ final destination. This means Puppet client will show
+ diffs and that hopefully we can change file ownerships
+ now
