Issue #2247 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

I do understand the frustration, but if you look through the history of this 
ticket it hasn't had a clear path forward. There was a lot of chatter back and 
forth before the use case was made clear, and we've had somewhat unrelated 
comments and requests sprinkled through it.

If this was a complete patch including tests, it would have been merged by now.

I do think that accusing us of killing an "Open Source" project is unwarranted 
hyperbole, but the various people commenting on this ticket (and I include 
myself) should have made it clearer that the code as attached was lacking, and 
we would have made faster progress on getting it merged in, instead of leaving 
things in a confusing limbo.

I would like to reboot this ticket thread in a more productive direction.

To those of you who require this feature, are any of you up for writing a test 
suite for it?

If you're interested in learning to write tests for Puppet code but don't feel 
confident doing it yet, please speak up too, and I'll make sure someone is 
available to give help.

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>
