Question: uninstall nodejs entirely

[jeff1evesque]

I've installed nodejs via:

...
    class { 'nodejs':
        repo_url_suffix => '5.x',
    }
...

But, I'm curious: if I no longer need nodejs after provisioning, and want to remove nodejs entirely, is there an appropriate method to remove it? For example willdurand/puppet-nodejs has the following implementation:

::nodejs::install { 'node-v5.4':
  ensure  => absent,
  version => 'v5.4.1',
}

from what i gather, it should be enough to amend your definition with:

class { 'nodejs':
  nodejs_package_ensure => absent,
  repo_url_suffix       => '5.x',
}

…unless you're on gentoo.

Pretty sure things should work with nodejs_package_ensure set to absent and the other manage_things stuff set to false.
