I am not depoying pulp via puppet currently, but was actually going to
be looking into that shortly.

Getting ready to start moving pulp into a more general use and that
means deploying it via puppet.  So pretty good timing on your email.

I took a look at the module, and like you does look like a good start,
but not complete.

What sort of things would you want the module to do?  you mentioned
registering to the pulp server and binding to repos.  Been trying to
think of other items that would be good for a puppet module for pulp
to do (at least from a consumer perspective) and figured check to
see if you had additional ideas...

P.S. kudos to the pulp dev's.  2.2 is much faster and better on memory
usage during repo syncs.
