Hi, I'm trying to get my yum module to manage system repositories like CentOS-Base. My yum module is part of a pre run stage so it puts the necessary repositories in place before other modules try to install anything.
I've just run into a problem though; when Puppet installs a repo via yumrepo, it doesn't clear the yum cache. This means that when the modules in the main stage start trying to install packages, many will error as yum doesn't see the new respositories. Running yum clean metadata fixes this, but I'm not sure how best to automate it in the module. I don't want to turn metadata caching off, or have a regular cron flushing it as I've seeen suggested before - an exec subscribed to /etc/yum.repos.d would be perfect, but that doesn't work. I'm posting this here prior to putting something in the Puppet Labs bug tracker, as either a feature request or a bug (I think it's fairly essential that adding repositories leads to a refresh of yum cache... shouldn't really have to work around it in my opinion) Thanks!
