---------------------------------------- Feature #4113: Allow provider-specific options as a first class part of the RAL model. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4113#change-87322 * Author: Oliver Hookins * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: * Target version: 3.x * Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/2ef615fc42225d99?pli=1 Our requirement is more or less the same as in the linked thread, we need to use a proxy to install gems but for a variety of reasons can't set a global proxy on the machines. Thus some way of passing options to gem is necessary. (Nigel) - We should do this consistently across providers, perhaps combining with the "preseed" functionality of apt/dpkg. Rather than doing this as a generic "pass unstructured data" hack, we should resolve this by allowing provider-specific parameters to be first class elements in declarations: <pre> package { example: provider => something, something_specific_parameter => value } </pre> That should cover more than just packages - extending to all types. Requiring the provider to be explicitly specified is preferable to allowing it to be inferred when non-type parameters or properties are present. It is unclear if both properties and parameters should be supported, or if only parameters should be allowed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
