Puppet yum module

This module provides helpful definitions for dealing with yum.

Requirements

Module has been tested on:

• Puppet 3.1.0
• CentOS 6.3

Usage

yum::gpgkey

Import/remove GPG RPM signing key.

Key defined in recipe (inline):

yum::gpgkey { '/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet-smoketest1':
  ensure  => present,
  content => '-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
...
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----',
}

Key stored on Puppet fileserver:

yum::gpgkey { '/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org':
  ensure  => present,
  source  => 'puppet:///modules/elrepo/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org',
}

yum::plugin

Install or remove yum plugin:

yum::plugin { 'versionlock':
  ensure  => present,
}

yum::versionlock

Locks explicitly specified packages from updates. Package name must be precisely specified in format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH. Wild card in package name is allowed or automatically appended, but be careful and always first check on target machine if your package is matched correctly! Following definitions create same configuration lines:

yum::versionlock {
  '0:bash-4.1.2-9.el6_2.*':
    ensure  => present;
  '0:bash-4.1.2-9.el6_2.':
    ensure  => present;
}

yum::group

Install or remove yum package group:

yum::group { 'X Window System':
  ensure  => present,
}
