Jira (PUP-146) Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

Title: Message Title

Aaron Boudreaux commented on PUP-146   Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager I just assumed that this is how puppet already worked until digging into why installing many packages with puppet was so much slower than ansible; I then discovered puppet creates a separate yum transaction for every single package even when I have them in the same list for the package resource. I am surprised to see this is still an issue more than 7 years later after being reported. Please add this functionality. The better performance of running masterless puppet with puppet apply over running ansible local is one of the primary reasons we were attempting to move more of our configuration to puppet. However, since a large portion of our configuration involves installing packages, not being able to do that quickly is a problem for us.
