Hi all,

I'm wondering how other people mange yum repositories using the yumrepo
type.

At the moment, we have a class called "repos" which has all of our repos
defined in it.

This class is included in our 'base' class which sets up things common
to all servers such as puppet, mcollective, nrpe etc.

The down side of this is that all of our repos are included on all of
our servers, leading to a complete mess in /etc/yum.repos.d/

I'm now thinking that I need to only call in the various repos for the
servers which require them, i.e. CentosBase and others would be included
in the 'base' class, however those which provide things such as php 5.3
would only be included on webservers etc.

What would be even nicer would be if there was a way to override certain
aspects of existing repos, for example:

class base{
# other yumrepo defines...
...
...

# stick with the php 5.1 in Centos Base
yumrepo{"epel":
        excludepkgs=>"php*",
}

}


class webserverphp52 {
# include php5.2 from epel 
        yumrepo{"epel":
                excludepkgs => "",
        }
}

Is this possible with 0.25 (we're installing from Epel and we're nowhere
near ready to upgrade to 2.6!)? 

How are other people managing this kind of situation?

Cheers,

M.
