The resource types and provides are written in ruby, but distributed as
puppet modules.

When testing puppet modules, and your code use the "cron", "host",
"mount" (from the list above) resource types, they need to be present.

The resource types are present in the puppet 5 source repository, while
in puppet 6, they are maintained as separate puppet modules in their own
repositories, and we would need to add them as packaged dependencies.
