Example Usage

Install transmission:

Install transmission with custom parameters:

class { 'transmission':
  rpc-enabled  => true,
  rpc-password => '{5bf3cd57109da5468fe6519c4ead6f281fbacff8W366dVGr',
  rpc-port     => '9090',
}

TODO

The transmission-daemon overwrites a plaintext password in settings.json with a hashed version. The hash function they use is custom. For now, you must use the hash password in your parameters to prevent a constant conflict between the Puppet agent and the transmission-daemon. I will need to add a custom function to mimic the function in transmission to hash the password.
