WARNING WARNING WARNING

puppet-locales is not currently being maintained, and may have unresolved issues or not be up-to-date.

I'm still using it on a daily basis (with Puppet 3.8.5) and fixing issues I find while using it. But sadly, I don't have the time required to actively add new features, fix issues other people report or port it to Puppet 4.x.

If you would like to maintain this module, please create an issue at: https://github.com/netmanagers/puppet-locales/issues offering yourself.
