I have an interesting problem (to me). I want to install Percona
mysql. This is easy.
But I also want to make sure regular MySQL isn't installed on the same
machine that's running Percona.
To install Percona, I have a resource like
package {
'percona-client':
name => 'Percona-Server-client-55',
ensure => installed,
}
To make sure MySQL isn't installed I have
package {
'mysql':
provider => "yum",
ensure => purged,
}
The problem is that Puppet tries to remove Percona, instead of MySQL.
This is because the Percona rpm provides the mysql feature. By this I mean
the output from 'yum provides mysql' contains (edited):
Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.36-rel34.2.el6.x86_64 : Percona Server - Client
Repo : XXX
Matched from:
Other : mysql
Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.36-rel34.2.el6.x86_64 : Percona Server - Client
Repo : installed
Matched from:
Other : Provides-match: mysql
Of course, trying to remove Percona fails because other things depend on
it, as they should.
The only ideas I have for removing MySQL, and not Percona, are:
1) Use rpmrebuild to change what Percona provides
2) Use something like (untested)
exec { "/usr/bin/yum -y remove mysql":
onlyif => "/bin/rpm -qa |/bin/fgrep mysql"
3) Just presume that MySQL won't be installed in the first place.
I could do this but I'd like my modules to be more accepting and
not require a specially prepared system.
Any suggestions?
