In regard to: Re: [Puppet Users] Install RPM package via puppet, Sixthmoon...:
Tim,
It looks like our Puppet master doesn't have yum setup that way. From what
I see we are having puppet place the .repo files into /etc/yum.repo.d/
All the current package definitions only have the following attributes:
class example {
package { [ "example" ]:
ensure => "present",
require => [File[ "/etc/yum.repos.d" ], Exec[ "/usr/bin/yum
makecache" ]],
}
}
Ok, that should work too, though I generally try avoid exec's if possible.
puppet provides a yumrepo resource type so that's what we're using with
puppet, but what you're doing should also work. It's probably going to
result in a lot of calls to 'yum makecache', but that's your choice.
The important point is that the client system that needs to have the
package installed has a repo definition for the repo that contains the
package.
Someone else already asked this and it's a salient question: if you hop
on the client and type
yum info iftop
does yum respond with information about the package from your repo?
If it does, then using just the "package" resource should be enough to
get it installed. On a CentOS client, you shouldn't need to do anything
with "provider" and you shouldn't need to set "source". If it's in the
repo, the default provider (yum) should find it and install it. If it
doesn't, then something else is going on.
