Issue #2247 has been updated by Matthew Byng-Maddick.

Nigel,

Your status change seems spurious. Puppet already has options that are 
applicable only to single backend handlers in several places, so mentioning 
`apt-get -t` and using that as an apparent excuse for changing the status away 
from **Accepted** seems a little disingenuous. Not only that, but doing it when 
there's a working, if slightly nasty, patch that's been soundly ignored to do 
this attached to the ticket just makes you seem plain rude.

Quite frankly, I and other people will continue to need this feature out of 
puppet, because we don't want yum to pull in half the world by magic in normal 
sysadmin operation. I guess that this means that those of us who want this 
feature will continue to need to patch puppet to make it do the right thing and 
work for us because things are being "shoe-horned into the package type".

For the record, too, the fact that you've totally ignored the patch (I don't 
mind it being rejected, I do mind it being ignored - it's common courtesy to 
say "thanks but no thanks" if you don't want it, and explain why you don't like 
it) in this case is likely to make me just maintain my own patches in future 
without bothering to share them back ever. You may consider this a good thing - 
I think that's the death of an "Open Source" project.

Cheers

MBM

Feature #2247: enablerepo and disablerepo for yum type
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2247

Author: Ben -
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: package
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8
Keywords: yum
Branch: 


it would be nice to be able to enable a disabled repo for the installation on 
one package.

for example installing facter from EPEL.

something like;

<pre>
package { "facter": ensure => installed, enablerepo => [ "epel", "epel-testing" 
]; }
</pre>
