    Description

      choco config was introduced in v0.9.9.9 and has had no significant changes since it was introduced. The docs related to config are located at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/CommandsConfig

      On first converge it may be important to install Chocolatey, set config configuration AND install packages using that configuration set. This means it must be done as a custom type so that one can discover what version of Chocolatey was just installed, as custom types are the only thing that always runs client side.

      Config is important as it allows folks to specify proxy settings.

      Since unset was not introduced until 0.9.10.x, we will require v0.9.10.0 to take advantage of this feature, so that absent works and there is no confusion about being able to set a value, but not remove that setting. That scenario could be surprising for folks so we want to avoid it.
