Issue #4976 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
I wouldn't look at the file type/provider, it's quite confusing compared to most of our others. Have a look at the type: http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/package.rb You'll see how we talk about "features" within the type, and certain parameters require different features. That's the way I would suggest we do this, we set up the force parameter which requires the forceable feature, and then we declare that the appropriate package providers are forceable and modify them that way. Does that make more sense? ---------------------------------------- Feature #4976: force package install https://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.
