Issue #2247 has been updated by Peter Meier.
> *groupinstall* Need to install package groups About that option there have been recently some discussion around. The problem is a bit in the semantic that groupinstall introduce, as groupinstall can't really be seen as a *single* package resource. Read more about that on the mailinglist. > *--nogpgcheck* To install unsigned packages on a case-by-case basis versus > at a repository level could be added like the enable enable/disable repo one. > *downgrade* Some packages can require a downgraded version of a dependency Imho this one should be autohandled if you specify via ensure a version which is lower than the current installed one. If not, a ticket should be filed. > *clean* Adding a new repository or having a bad mirror and/or cache > may require a rebuilding the cache > *upgrade* Trigger a full update instead of package by package update These 2 are cleary options that affect the whole system and not only a single resource. Hence, it would be wrong to have them in the package provider and I think they are best suited to be used in an exec. Besides a lot of confusion and possible problems I don't see any advantage to have them within the package provider. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2247: enablerepo and disablerepo for yum type http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2247 Author: Ben - Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: package Target version: 0.25.5 Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: yum Branch: it would be nice to be able to enable a disabled repo for the installation on one package. for example installing facter from EPEL. something like; <pre> package { "facter": ensure => installed, enablerepo => [ "epel", "epel-testing" ]; } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
