But thanks to your definition sample I now know how to tackle this. Btw, I forgot that I also need to import the GPG key from the packager before having the RPMs installed (unless I intersperse some --nodigest or --nosignature in the command of the exec block of my custom package definition, I suppose) So I also included this kind of definition in my class (hope that will work). Of course I now know that I should rather factor that out into a separate name space. define keypackage($ensure=installed) { $cmd = "rpm --import ${name}" package { $name: noop => true, ensure => $ensure, source => "puppet://puppet/nagios/${name}", require => Exec["rpmkey-import"], } exec { "rpmkey-import": path => "/bin:/usr/bin", command => $cmd, unless => 'rpm -qa gpg-pubkey|xargs rpm -q --qf "% {summary}\n"|grep -qi wieers', } } Btw. the $name variable I gather refers to "varname" or title that I assign keypackage on its "instantiation", like so? keypackage { "RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt": } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
