As stated above if you match the existing file with a yumrepo resource then yes it will effectively change just the file but puppet will now own that so it has to match or else it will create a new file.
So if the existing file looks like this... [BaseOS] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial And you now want to just enable it then something like this may work... yumrepo { 'BaseOS': desc => 'CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist => 'http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS&infra=$infra' gpgcheck => 0 enabled => 1 gpgkey => 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial' } And if you can't get it to work and you absolutely cannot have two similar files with one disabled and one enabled then look a something like fileline in the stdlib to edit a line in a file - but the yumrepo resource type is the way to go. Tip: you need to get a test host so you can just start playing with this stuff and seeing how it works. Also please read the resource type docs as they are great : https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/types/yumrepo.html On Sunday, March 29, 2020 at 3:04:50 AM UTC+1, Keyzer Suze wrote: > > Hi > > Okay sorry for the confusion. > > So brand new centos 8 install > > all the repo files are in the /etc/yum.repo.d directory > > I want to turn on the high availability repo > > I would rather not replace the whole files - yes I can see its contents, > but I don't want to maintain the file in puppet I want to maintain the > state of the repo > > on a very basic level I want to change the enabled option in the file to 1 > / true > > > > > > > > On Sat, Mar 28, 2020 at 3:30 AM warron.french <warron...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Keyser, do you mean what syntax to generate a repo file for the CentOS >> high availability packages? >> >> I am trying to understand your requirement clearly. >> -------------------------- >> Warron French >> >> >> >> On Fri, Mar 27, 2020 at 1:10 AM Keyzer Suze <keyze...@gmail.com >> <javascript:>> wrote: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> Looking at configure brand new installs >>> >>> basically i have Centos 8 template (VMWare) and I create new machines, >>> login assign name to it and run puppet agent. >>> >>> I wanted to use high availability packages and i need to turn on the >>> repo. >>> >>> Not sure the best way of doing it, I don't want to recreate the file, >>> just want to turn on enabled >>> >>> >>> thanks >>> >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 11:30 PM warron.french <warron...@gmail.com >>> <javascript:>> wrote: >>> >>>> Did you get an answer Keyzer? >>>> >>>> Do you still have the file /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Base.repo, or do you >>>> need to recreate the entire repo from scratch?
