I''d like to pass command line options for a package installed via a
gem provider. In particular, I''m updating puppet, the equivalent
command would be:
/usr/bin/gem1.8 install puppet -v=2.6.1 --no-rdoc --no-ri
(The extra docs that gets installed with puppet take WAY too long and
are unnecessary on production). I''m running a very simple "self-
update" of Puppet per this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/cb26b8973bc70925
like so:
class puppet ($version) {
package { "puppet": ensure => $version, provider => gem }
}
How do I pass command line options? Do I need to create a custom
provider? My guess is I''ll probably end up using an "exec"
resource
with an onlyif condition.
Thanks,
-Andy

Thanks for both solutions. :) Looks like either will work for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
