Howdy,
Sorry if this a dupe, I am new to the puppet list.
I am trying to override the provider for a package and simply use wget
in all cases to retrieve an rpm.
I have tried this:
class foo::bar:quiz {
package {
"fancy-package":
ensure => installed,
source => "http://yum/yum/repo/5/i386/
verycoolrpm..noarch.rpm"
}
However the node is still attempting to use apt-get (which fails)
The node in question does not support yum at all. (It ''s a customized
appliance type linux)
Any ideas how I can force the provider to wget in all cases? Note that
this does work on some hosts and not on others.
Thanks in advance puppet guru''s :)
-Matt

It''s ignoring that value for some reason. Would you happen to have a link on how one would write such a patch? Here is my package declaration in case I am doing something really dumb: class XXXX:agent::XXX { package { "XX-agent": provider => rpm, source => "http://yum/yum/XXXXX/5/i386/XXXXX-4.1.2.XX-1.noarch.rpm", ensure => installed } service { "XX-agent": ensure => running, enable => true } file { "XXX-agent": path => "/opt/XXX/hq-plugins", ensure => directory, owner => "XXX", group => "XXX", mode => 0644, purge => true, recurse => true, force => true, require => Package["XXXX"], notify => Service["XXXX"], ignore => [''.svn'', ''.git'', ''CVS'' ], source => "puppet://$servername/XXXX/plugins"; } } I have to blank out the real names for NDA reasons.. sorry.
