damianzaremba/yumng — version 0.0.1 Apr 4th 2014

yumng

Yum package provider that supports proper version locking using the versionlock yum plugin.

Tested on

  • Puppet 3.4/3.5
  • CentOS 6.5 (yum-3.2.29-43.el6.centos.noarch, yum-plugin-versionlock-1.1.30-17.el6_5.noarch)

Usage

  • Put this module in modules/yumng

  • In your site manifest or base class include the following

    include yumng Package { provider => 'yumng' }

Why?

In a puppet environment where versions are enforced for packages it is nearly impossible to yum update a box - you either change the package version, which puppet tries to change back, or break things.

This uses the versionlock plugin to tell yum a package is locked to a certain version, meaning you can yum update all day long without bypassing puppet.
