Jira (PUP-1217) yum provider + package groups giving unnecessary errors

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on

Here's a possible way forward on this:

Add a :supports_groups feature to lib/puppet/type/package.rb
Add a yumgroup package provider whose parent is Puppet::Provider::Package.
Specify that the provider supports the feature: has_feature :group
Implement install and uninstall methods that call the yum group commands, e.g. yum groupinstall X
Implement instances method that parses the output of yum grouplist. For each installed group, produce a provider instances:

def self.instances

  packages = []

  output = execute("#{command(:cmd)} grouplist")

  output.each_line do |line|

    # TODO: parse lines following "^Installed Packages:"

    packages << new(name: "..", ensure: :installed, provider: self.name)

end

  packages

rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure => e

  raise Puppet::Error, _("Failed to list packages"), e

end

Since yum groups are managed with a different provider, we don't have to worry about their names conflicting with a yum/rpm package with the same name.
We probably want to add support for install_options and uninstall_options, and maybe install_only.
We might want to add support for purgeable?

But I don't think it'd make sense to support versionable or virtual_packages like the rpm and yum providers do.
