Issue #13462 has been updated by Chris Price. Category set to Red Hat Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
This sounds like a good suggestion to me. We would most likely be interested in considering a patch that implemented this, but it might not be something that we are able to devote resources to internally right away. We would also need to gather some more information about backwards compatibility issues; when was this flag introduced to yum? We are currently still supporting RHEL/CentOS5, so we'd need to consider whether or not this was available on those platforms, and, if not, whether or not there was a sane way to detect that and/or to provide backwards compatibility with systems for which the flag is not available. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13462: yum provider should use --remove-with-leaves https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13462#change-58888 Author: Simon Guest Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Red Hat Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: By default, yum remove does not removed installed dependencies. This is really annoying, and clutters up the system with unwanted dependencies. The yum plugin remove-with-leaves adds an additional option to yum remove, namely --remove-with-leaves. I suggest puppet use this, instead of using rpm to remove packages, so that automatically installed dependencies get removed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
