Issue #2247 has been updated by Adrien Thebo.
We just had a fairly lengthy discussion about this issue and the proposed fix, and we didn't come to a unanimous conclusion on it yet. The disagreement centers around how much information we should put in the types about providers, and how we want to handle very provider specific configurations. This sort of functionality is definitely needed, but right now the package type has 17 providers and if we try to account for every reasonable provider use that number could explode. (For instance, Gentoo could use parameters like `package_use`, `package_mask`, `package_unmask`, `package_keywords`, `package_license`, and so on.) A recent pull request (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2034) proposed a new approach where we add a `package_options` parameter that is used to accept provider specific configuration. This would make it very easy to add support for `enablerepo` and `disablerepo` without having to touch a lot of other locations. Would this sort of approach be satisfactory? For instance: package { 'sl': ensure => present, package_options => { enablerepos => 'epel', disablerepos => 'security', } } ---------------------------------------- Feature #2247: enablerepo and disablerepo for yum type https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2247#change-99730 * Author: Ben - * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: package * Target version: 3.x * Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8 * Keywords: yum enablerepo customer * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1974 ---------------------------------------- it would be nice to be able to enable a disabled repo for the installation on one package. for example installing facter from EPEL. something like; <pre> package { "facter": ensure => installed, enablerepo => [ "epel", "epel-testing" ]; } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
