Puppet users - Nov 2010 - a dummy question - Could I use regular expression in Package ?

I''m a newbie in Puppet.
I had googled for a while,
I just wonder if those work ? (syntax below)

packe
{
    provider => "yum"
    allowcdrom => true

    "python*":
            ensure => installed;
    "mysql*":
             ensure => installed;
}

please help!
thanks!

There are a couple of points here. If you want to set a default
paramters for a resource[1]:
Package{ provider => yum }

I think ''allowcdrom'' parameter is only for
''apt'' provider, not yum[2].
You need to explicitly list each resource to manage, no wildcard:
package {
    "mysql":
        ensure => installed;
     "mysql-devel":
        ensure => installed;
     "mysq-serverl":
        ensure => installed;
}

However there is a shortcut. If all of the resources have the same
parameters you can specify an array[3] of names:
package {
    ["mysql", "mysql-devel", "mysq-serverl"]:
        ensure => installed;
}
