Issue #1238 has been updated by Matt Behrens.
I've been asked why I can't use a `yumrepo` resource that contains the entirety of the `.repo` file like is done for EPEL in e.g. http://forge.puppetlabs.com/stahnma/epel. The core problem is the `asterisknow-version` package. I could define a .repo for it that looks like this (based on `puppet resource yumrepo asterisk-11` output from a configured system): <pre> yumrepo { 'asterisk-11': baseurl => 'http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/$releasever/asterisk-11/$basearch/', descr => 'CentOS-$releasever - Asterisk 11', enabled => '1', gpgcheck => '0', } </pre> but there is a problem. The `asterisknow-version` package is a dependency of several packages in that repository, and supplies a `centos-asterisk-11.repo` that contains the `asterisk-11` repo itself. Now we have two identical repos, one of which Puppet is managing, and the other managed by `asterisknow-version`. (One could perhaps successfully argue that the packages requiring `asterisknow-version` are a problem with the way the repository is assembled; I might agree with you. But so it is.) ---------------------------------------- Bug #1238: strange yumrepo/package interaction https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1238#change-99802 * Author: BMDan - * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Gerard Bernabeu * Category: yumrepo * Target version: 3.x * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Yumrepo appears to be checking file existence before allowing the package command to complete, meaning that it creates a file containing only "[remi]" and "enabled=1", overwriting the file that the RPM installed. Manifests, additional debug output, etc., available upon request. Just tell me what you need to know. Workarounds especially welcomed.
