What's an Empty Module Look Like?

One module is particularly compact: ip6tables.

The init.pp file is empty.  There is, however, a README, which says this:

=====================
ip6tables
=====================
-----------
Usage
-----------
The ip6tables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the,
Linux kernel. If you need to set up ipv6 firewalls, you should install
this package.

Looks like a module that someone's just creating.  A quick look at the log says that's exactly right: it was just created a few days ago, with the comment.

    Add in minimal files for ip6tables.


This tells me the skeleton FI is using for its modules.  What are the files?

$ tree .
.
|-- manifests
|   `-- init.pp
|-- README
`-- templates
    `-- iptables.erb

The third file, iptables.erb, is also still empty.   I'll get to watch them grow.

Unfortunately, I don't know much of anything about ip6tables, or, really, any of ip6.  Perhaps that'll turn into "fortunately," if it prompts me to learn something so I can understand what I'm seeing.  It's all in how I look at it.

The optimist says, "The glass is half full."
The engineer says, "The glass is twice as big as it needs to be."
