Title: Message Title

Ciprian Badescu commented on PUP-9605   Re: Type package (provider yum) fails when handling kernel packages Currently there is support for single version of a package in puppet. There are few places where it is coded like this, all in lib/puppet/provider/package/rpm.rb:     1. prefetch from lib/puppet/provider/package.rb will use last entry of the package name from instances (rpm -qa)   #lib/puppet/provider/package.rb def self.prefetch(packages) instances.each do |prov| if pkg = packages[prov.name] pkg.provider = prov end end end       #lib/puppet/provider/package.rb def self.instances packages = [] # list out all of the packages begin execpipe("#{command(:rpm)} -qa #{nosignature} #{nodigest} --qf '#{self::NEVRA_FORMAT}'") { |process| # now turn each returned line into a package object process.each_line { |line| hash = nevra_to_hash(line) packages << new(hash) unless hash.empty? } } rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure raise Puppet::Error, _("Failed to list packages"), $!.backtrace end packages end     2. query from lib/puppet/provider/rpm.rb will use first entry of the package name from `rpm -q #{package_name}`   #lib/puppet/provider/rpm.rb def query #NOTE: Prior to a fix for issue 1243, this method potentially returned a cached value #IF YOU CALL THIS METHOD, IT WILL CALL RPM #Use get(:property) to check if cached values are available cmd = ["-q", @resource[:name], "#{self.class.nosignature}", "#{self.class.nodigest}", "--qf", "'#{self.class::NEVRA_FORMAT}'"] begin output = rpm(*cmd) rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure return nil unless @resource.allow_virtual? # rpm -q exits 1 if package not found # retry the query for virtual packages cmd << '--whatprovides' begin output = rpm(*cmd) rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure # couldn't find a virtual package either return nil end end # FIXME: We could actually be getting back multiple packages # for multilib and this will only return the first such package @property_hash.update(self.class.nevra_to_hash(output)) @property_hash.dup end One solution would be to extend propery_hash with a list of versions in :extra_versions and adapt instances/query/insync? rpm implementations to use the :extra_versions. The solution looks more like a hack and also not clear how the multi-version packages will get removed/updated using puppet.   Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
