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.

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>
