Hi puppet masters,
while working on my site I came across a requirement that might be
helpful for others as well....
With the aim of confining human errors as much as possible, I
thought that it would be nice to have yum repositories disabled so that
specific repositories could be enabled for certain packages.
This is easily implementable via command-line, but I found that the
package manager''s options were hard-coded in puppet.
I therefore think it would be useful to be able to specify extra
custom options to the puppet package providers.
Regards,
Massimo

At the most, packages might someday get boolean options (e.g., "force"), but I don''t think we''re every going to be able to have this level of interaction. It also pretty handily breaks any kind of abstraction. Just use the yumrepo type to manage your repositories, IMO. -- Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.

For those rare expecptions I believe the exec type works well.

Hi Massimo, what I''m doing is "pinning" packages somewhat. In fact we''re using the priorities plugin and pin a package to one or more repositories by adding it as an exclude to all other repositories. I''ve written a simple script that does the job.
