+# This manifest shows an example of how you can use a newer version of
+# postgres from yum.postgresql.org or apt.postgresql.org, rather than your
+# system's default version.
+#
+# Note that it is important that you use the '->', or a
+# before/require metaparameter to make sure that the `params`
+# class is evaluated before any of the other classes in the module.
+#
+# Also note that this example includes automatic management of the yumrepo or
+# apt resource. If you'd prefer to manage the repo yourself, simply pass
+# 'false' or omit the 'manage_repo' parameter--it defaults to 'false'. You will
+# still need to use the 'postgresql' class to specify the postgres version
+# number, though, in order for the other classes to be able to find the
+# correct paths to the postgres dirs.
