The idea is sound-ish. You cannot implement this as a provider for the resource type. There are too many assumptions rooted in the package type to liberate its notion of being in sync the way you need. So if you could come up with the apt_multi_package module (or whatever), that would likely be useful. Keep us posted :) (Bonus points if it ends up as just the multi_package module with providers for both aptitude and yum ;-) Cheers, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
