no longer gathers ssh keys?

[Wildcarde]

I'm working on some updates to add support for ubuntu 22 to my local setup and one of those issues is updating this package. However it appears this modules 4.0/4.1 variant wipes out the ssh_authorized_key file now because it no longer includes a gather command like 3.62 did here: https://github.com/ghoneycutt/puppet-module-ssh/blob/v3.62.0/manifests/init.pp#L1214

This was by design as it required PuppetDB. Using collections like this is better served in a profile.

To clarify you are suggesting making a module / profile that just has the related code in it to handle that instead since it's a seperate dependency chain from the main code? basically just something that includes:

  ## export ssh-rsa key to puppetdb
  @@sshkey { $::fqdn :
    ensure => 'present',
    type   => 'ssh-rsa',
    key    => $::sshrsakey,
  }

  if $manage_global_known_hosts == true {
    file { 'global_known_hosts':
      ensure  => file,
      path    => $global_known_hosts_path,
      owner   => $global_known_hosts_owner,
      group   => $global_known_hosts_group,
      mode    => $global_known_hosts_mode,
      require => 'File[ssh_config]',
    }
  }
  ##distribute system public keys to all nodes
  Sshkey <<||>> {
      target => $global_known_hosts_path,
    }

We don't use a profiles structure but an entity-component structure so I'll probably just make a common layer module to handle that code.
