Issue #12670 has been updated by Nick Fagerlund. Project changed from Puppet Documentation to Puppet Category deleted (references)
---------------------------------------- Bug #12670: file Type docs vague with respect to package provider https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12670#change-77583 Author: Paul Lussier Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: Normal Assignee: Patrick Carlisle Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: yum rpm file type reference docs Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1237 The docs at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#package state: "Default for operatingsystem == fedora, centos, redhat." Yet what isn't mentioned anywhere is that 'yum' is only the default for package installs, not removals. Removing a package defaults to using 'rpm -e', which is very different and does not provide the dependency resolution that yum does. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
