Issue #4067 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
I've been dreaming of functionality like this for a while, but I haven't been able to envisage how it would work. >From the server, you don't necessarily know what repositories are visible to >the client, and you may indeed be creating these repositories as part of your >puppet run, so you can't do something where the client sends a package >dependency graph up to the server at the start of the run. This would be a killer feature though... ---------------------------------------- Feature #4067: Automatic dependency resolution for package managers. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4067 Author: Trevor Vaughan Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: Statler Affected version: development Keywords: package, auto-generation, graph Branch: Various parties have indicated that they would like Puppet to seamlessly integrate with the relevant package manager's dependency resolution ability if possible. Situation: If you have RPMs A and B, where B depends on A and Puppet objects that depend on one, or more, of the RPMs, then Puppet should automatically add relevant ordering objects to properly order the RPM dependencies. Example: RPM A RPM B B -> A package { "B": ensure => 'latest' } file { "foo": require => Package['B'] } Should this manifest be activated, Puppet should automatically, generate an internal dependency from B to A and insert it into the dependency graph. This is an obviously contrived example, but there are situations where you would want this type of thing to happen for more complex scenarios. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
