Issue #16790 has been updated by Jo Rhett.
The yumhelper is fragile, though, and execing yum would not be. By fragile, I mean that it breaks for a wide variety of reasons. It works great on a stock CentOS 5 systems. There's about 20 different packages you can install which will make it fail, and it breaks on stock-ish CentOS 6 systems with regularity. That said, I don't care if someone rewrites it to work with any given python environment. I'm just very tired of watching it fail under perfectly normal circumstances. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #16790: Rubyize yumhelper.py to remove dependency on python https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16790#change-80607 Author: Alex Cline Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1205 There are several bugs (bug 11380 being one that triggered this patch) that highlight the fact that the version of python used as the default on a system running puppet can break yumhelper.py. This refactor removes yumhelper.py and moves the functionality into the Yum provider in puppet. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
