Issue #4976 has been updated by Aggelos Economopoulos.
I think having providers that ignore 'force' would be a serious POLA violation. A lot of people would waste hours trying to figure out why 'force' doesn't make a difference (we can document it, so that new users that discover the feature by reading through the docs will expect it, but it will still puzzle someone who's going through a puppet manifest that someone else wrote). As for :required_features not being enforced for parameters, I haven't created an issue yet, mainly because I wanted to find time to read through the code first and provide a more useful bug report, possibly including a patch. However, I'm not sure when I'll have the time for that, so I'll take your advice and file a bug report later today, if there isn't one already. ---------------------------------------- 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 Puppet 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.
