Issue #11995 has been updated by Peter Meier.
Imho this was already discussed a couple of times (mailing list, probably also bugtracker). One (big) issue is that you can tell yum to install a group, but afair you can't query yum if a certain group is installed. So how would you do that, to fit into puppet's idea of managing state of resources? ---------------------------------------- Bug #11995: Add group install to Package https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11995 Author: Charlie Wyse Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: puppet-2.6.12-1 This is my first ticket so if I do anything wrong let me know. When trying to install a package group in Red Hat 6, I get a failure. I don't think puppet understands package groups. Could this be added to the package feature? My manifest: package { 'MRG Grid': ensure => present, } Error: err: /Stage[main]/Mrg/Package[MRG Grid]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install MRG Grid' returned 1: Error: Nothing to do If the package could have a command to encapsulate anything in the naming list like 'MRG Grid' and change install to groupinstall, this should do the trick. Example: '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y groupinstall "MRG Grid"' Anyhow, as I said this is my first ticket so let me know what I can do to help move this along without any helpful knowledge in ruby programming. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
