Issue #2247 has been updated by Craig Dunn.


Just to add some weight to this, We've just encountered a scenario that would 
also benefit from being able to pass through enablerepo and disablerepo through 
to the Yum provider.  In this case, trying to install "vlc" on RedHat, it 
requires several packages from rpmforge and updates but this clashes with stuff 
that we have in our own repos.  The only way we've managed to get yum to 
resolve all it's dependencies for this package is to disable our internal repos 
and use yum --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo base,testing,rpmforge.   We are 
currently forced to do this with an exec, which is not nice.

Surely passing through valuable yum features like this to the provider isn't a 
bad thing?

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>
