I appreciate what you're saying, and James is probably right that Ben's post was a little harsh. However I think you guys need to consider that this is a key aspect of how many of us have to manage our RPM based systems. RedHat simply doesn't cover everything that is needed, and some software just can't be left at the release versions they provide. As others have stated, we also can't just leave them enabled for a stray install or update/upgrade to wreak havoc on production systems. This ticket has been open for nearly TWO YEARS. That's two years of our hacking around this notable limitation. That's two years of the ticket status suggesting it was about to get implemented - and then be pushed off because suddenly you guys weren't sure or decided this or that piece of information wasn't available in the ticket yet. It's been very frustrating. If it hadn't been for the number of notifications on this one I wouldn't have even bothered to click through because I just assumed the updates were you guys pushing it off again. Take that into account when you read Ben's post. While objectively Ben's post had a harsh tone, I think if you consider the position of the users struggling with this problem it's not really surprising. ---------------------------------------- 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> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
