Puppet users - Dec 2008 - updating packages with yum

Hi all,

When trying to update a package from:

 package { "lcg-CA":
                ensure   => ''1.25-1'',
                }

to

 package { "lcg-CA":
                ensure   => ''1.26-1'',
                }

which is the best way of managing yum update? Create an exec
yum_update/yum_clean and make a dependency between it and package?

cause I must do a yum update before, is it?

TIA,
Arnau

Hi all,

I think I must redo my question:

I must do a package clean before a yum updaet because of the package
itself:


"to update/install the CAs. Occasionally, in case the yum cache is not
updated properly one might need to perform manual cleaning with the
command:"

not because yum as I said in previous mail (sorry for that).

I''ve created an exec that does the yum clean:


        exec { "yum clean all":
                before => Package["lcg-CA"],
                unless => "rpm -qa|grep lcg-CA-1.26-1",
                }

        exec { "yum -y groupinstall glite-WN":
                timeout   => "-1",
                unless    => "/bin/rpm -qa|/bin/grep
glite-WN-version-3.1.10",
                logoutput => true,
                require  => Package["glite-TORQUE_client"],
                }

is posible to do same thing only with package type?

Cheers,
Arnau
