Yes, I could do it that way and I did before i realized that there was a
yumrepo resource.
Let me try a different approach: Is there something in the yumrepo resource
definition that will let me remove the info from the system ? I can live with
just disabling the repo, but I have some rabid security types that want the
repo removed entirely.
The puppet resource seems geared toward adding repos only.
Interesting problem. I am thinking it would be nice to be able to gather all
the necessary info from the yum database so that you would know that you have
"orphaned" rpm's. I found the Python-yum api and whipped up a script that
lists all packages and their source repo, but it ignores "orphans". Still
learning !
