Hi all, Got an issue which is starting to annoy me. How do people currently select repos from which to install particular packages? Currently we have a base centos, (enabled by default), and several others that I want to enable and disable for particular packages, like being able to use the --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=somerepo. Anyone solved this issue or have a good work around. Basically there are some packages in the different repos that break some installs so I don''t want them to be constantly enabled. We could manage the exclusions via the yumrepo type but that might be fiddly to manage. What have other people done?

We have a local yum repo (several of them actually) where we pull a copy of the packages we need. -- Arnaud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It sucks but this is what I do currently. As already mentioned there are a
couple of bug reports/feature requests to add this kind of support.
class alpine {
exec {"install_alpine":
command => ''/usr/bin/yum -y install alpine
--enablerepo=rpmforge'',
}
}
