Issue #4976 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs design decision to Accepted
I like it. It's a consistent parameter with other resource types like file. I suggest we need a feature "forceable" for these providers as we have at least the Mac pkg providers that cannot force, and possibly others. Mark, are you interested in writing some patches? I'd be happy to help mentor you through it if needed. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4976: force package install http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4976 Author: mark foster Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: package Target version: Affected version: Keywords: Branch: Please add force as an optional attribute to the package provider For apt-get, this should add --force-yes to the arguments For yum, this should add --no-deps Thanks. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
