Yep, I will manage my own repos, but I'm looking for some felxiblity in package management... Also, rpm is for emergency... sometimes they make me install some strange rpm version out of metapackege, and it's easy to do a rpm -e --nodeps / rpm -i --nodeps than rebuilding the metapackage. yum is enough for day to day administration, but before moving to a system, I want to know how flexible is each system. > > Also I'm not sure there isn't a way to get puppet's default package > provider to handle yum grouplists like the above, I've just never done > it. > I was thinking in modifying some code, maybe create a new personal "provider" could be enough.
