Module suggestions about marionette HOT 2 OPEN

User/Group management is an obvious one. I'd be happy to accept a pull-request for either, or add it to my backlog for implementing it myself.

For repository management I'd almost be inclined to suggest creating a file beneath /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, or /etc/yum.d/, and doing it "manually". The main reason for that is that I'm hazy on some of the details but I suspect there are going to be related issues - certainly for the Debian/Ubuntu case there will be the obvious enhancement to work with GPG-keys (apt-key). Those extra/related things are a bit non-portable and system specific, so I'd be worried I'd not know enough to do a decent job.

(Similar motivation lead me to ignore "cron" which would be another obvious case. But I figure users can deploy "/lib/systemd/.../blah.service" with a timer, or a file beneath /etc/cron.d, as appropriate.)

Makes sense about repositories and it's easy enough to drop files in the respective places.

For users and groups there would be a question around what options of useradd and groupadd to support and if/how passwords would be handled. Puppet has hiera-eyaml to allow for encrypted credentials to be stored in configuration but something like that might be overly complex to warrent adding.
