Puppet users - Apr 2008 - Overwrite type which is defined in a a define

Hi

so I have now this class with the additional define:

---
class yum::centos {
    yum::managed_yumrepo {base:
        descr => ''CentOS-$releasever - Base'',
        mirrorlist =>
''http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os'',
        gpgcheck => 1,
        gpgkey =>
''file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5'',
        priority => 1,
    }
}

define yum::managed_yumrepo (
    $descr = ''absent'',
    $baseurl = ''absent'',
    $mirrorlist = ''absent'',
    $enabled = 0,
    $gpgcheck = 0,
    $gpgkey = ''absent'',
    $failovermethod = ''absent'',
    $priority = 99){

    # ensure that everything is setup
    include yum::prerequisites

    file{"/etc/yum.repos.d/${name}.repo":
        ensure => file,
        replace => false,
        before => Yumrepo[$name],
        require => File[yum_repos_d],
        mode => 0644, owner => root, group => 0;
     }

     yumrepo{$name:
        descr => $descr,
        baseurl => $baseurl,
        enabled => $enabled,
        gpgcheck => $gpgcheck,
        gpgkey => $gpgkey,
        failovermethod => $failovermethod,
        priority => $priority,
        require => [ File[rpm_gpg],
            Package[yum-priorities]
        ],
    }
}
---

The idea was to have yum.repos.d automanaged (see mails some days ago).
I''d like to subclass now the first class and disable the repo:

---
class yum::centos::disable inherits yum::centos {
	Yumrepo[base]{
		enable => 0,
	}
}
---

However this fails with the following error:

---
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Only subclasses can override parameters
---

Obviously the problem seems to be that Yumrepo[base] is defined in the
define. Therefor puppet doesn''t seem to see that type as actually being
defined in the class.
How could I solve this problem? Or would it be just easier to leave the
wrapper script away, which would mean that I would need to define for
every yumrepo an additional file.

thanks and greets pete

Override the define, rather than the yumrepo.

works perfectly. Didn''t know that one can overwrite defines. Thought
that this is only for types. Or maybe I just couldn''t find it in the
docu.
