Feature #16743: Handle .rpmnew files, particularly for yum repos

Branch:
I modify the installed yum repos via the yumrepo type. If the package
distributing the repo file is updated, it create a .rpmnew file. In that case
what I want to happen is to have the .rpmnew file moved into place and then
have the yumrepo rules applied. This way upstream changes/fixes are applied
while keeping my modifications. I suspect this behavior may be desired for
other files maintained in a similar way with other puppet types (particularly
augeas).
I can handle this (clumsily) with exec, but as the documentation notes it would
be better to handle with a native type. Since yumrepo doesn't directly specify
a file to operate this might be tricky. But perhaps a "rpmnew" parameter that
takes arguments like "merge" or "remove". Then if puppet spies a .rpmnew file
containing a repo name that it manages it could take the appropriate action.
Currently I'm doing:
# Move repo.rpmnew files into place so they can be modified
exec { 'yum.repo.rpmnew.move':
command => 'for x in *.repo.rpmnew; do test -f $x && mv $x ${x/.rpmnew}
|| :; done',
cwd => '/etc/yum.repos.d',
provider => 'shell',
onlyif => 'test -f `echo /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo.rpmnew | cut -d" " -f1`',
}
But this also has the downside that the exec is processed after the yumrepo
commands in a run and the changes to the repo take place on the second run. I
suppose I need a trigger in there somewhere.
