I'm using 0.25.5 and I do it in pretty much the same way:
file { "oratoolkit_rpm":
require => [ Group["oinstall"],
Group["dba"],
User["oracle"],
],
path => "/home/admin/install/oratoolkit-1.0.2.1.4-1.noarch.rpm",
source => "puppet:///oracle/oratoolkit-1.0.2.1.4-1.noarch.rpm",
owner => admin,
group => admin,
ensure => present,
}
# installs the oratoolkit package
package { "oratoolkit":
require => File[oratoolkit_rpm],
source => "/home/admin/install/oratoolkit-1.0.2.1.4-1.noarch.rpm",
provider => "rpm",
ensure => installed,
}
Try adding an ensure => present to your File resource and see if it
avoids downloading the RPM file over and over again.
