Jira (PUP-2782) Yumrepo target attribute does not work

[Hunter Haugen (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Hunter Haugen commented on an issue   Re: Yumrepo target attribute does not work The yumrepo resource type defines target to be a parameter 1 and so therefore it is not read from the system during self.instances as a property would be, and thus cannot be updated by itself. (Parameters are used to modify the behavior of the provider when sync'ing properties, but are not themselves sync'd.) But it doesn't seem to be taken into account even when creating the repo... during the create, the provider calls the store class method 2 which is for a Puppet::Util::IniConfig object 3. (NB, virtual_inifile is a collection of all .repo files into one big ini structure.) The iniconfig file collection will store each ini structure in a file named after its key in the virtual_inifile object 4 which doesn't take target into account at all. To start fixing this, it would probably require updating the description section 5 to be able to use target instead of descr if it is available, and the description is not currently one of the pre-existing sections. But that would probably also run into issues with destroying 6, among other things. I assume we would not want to allow targets to be changed once a repo entry exists... or at least I can't imagine how puppet would handle such an operation.
