Puppet users - Sep 2011 - Add a repo from an rpm, rather than with yumrepo

Hullo
I''d like to add the various rpmfusion repos to my puppet manifests. Is
it possible to use yum/rpm to do this directly from the rpmfusion
site, using the downloadable rpm (from the rpmfusion web site):

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Otherwise, I''ve got to define the repo using the yumrepo type, which
just seems like a lot of fragile code (the rpm generates 3 repos).

Tim,

I use this define/exec:

##
# creates a repo release file by downloading the $source
#
# $name: name of repository (creates ${name}.repo file)
# $source: URL to *-release rpm
define packages::repo_release ($source) {
	exec { $name:
		command =>"/bin/rpm -Uvh ${source}",
		creates => "/etc/yum.repos.d/${name}.repo",
	}
}


And then I use these instances:

packages::repo_release { "rpmfusion-free":
	source =>
"http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm",
}
packages::repo_release { "rpmfusion-nonfree":
	source =>
"http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm",
}
package { [
	"rpmfusion-free-release",
	"rpmfusion-nonfree-release",
	]:
	ensure => latest,
	require => [
		Packages::Repo_release["rpmfusion-free"],
		Packages::Repo_release["rpmfusion-nonfree"],
	],
}

Yep, the "creates" makes exec know that the command given will create
that
file and won''t run once it exists.  This is similar to using
onlyif/unless w/
something like "test -e /etc/yum.repo.d/blah.repo".

I have the requires setup on the package resources like that so the -release
RPMs are installed, then they will maintain the release file and keep it
updated (ensure => latest).
