I can''t seem to find any direct reference yo this in the puppet 3.0 docs so does anyone know if puppet 3.0 can handle yum groupinstalls without resorting to using an exec? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Puppet''s built-in resources include Package to model individual packages, but nothing modeling package groups. I think it would be possible to write a custom resource type to cover that, but using such resources would require some care to avoid conflicting declarations of groups and packages within those groups.
