Try a define resource that wraps an exec. While this is nowhere near
complete, something in the order of the example below might be a good
place to start.
define mycustompackage {
exec { "mycustompackages-${name}":
command => "rpm -ivh --dbpath /yourdbpath/ ${name}"
unless => "rpm -q --dbpath /yourdbpath/ ${name}"
}
}
Or something like that.
