Overview

Enables EPEL repository

Module Description

This module enables the EPEL repository for RHEL 6 and 7 and derivatives. It will also update ca-certificates on the first run, checking for updates daily.

Setup

What epel affects

  • Installs a package called epel-release
  • Updates ca-certificates
  • Manages main epel repo

Beginning with epel

Just include epel class to have it configured with the defaults:

class { 'epel': }

Usage

Install epel

class { 'epel':
}

Disable EPEL

class { 'epel':
  main_enabled => false,
}

Force especific mirror for EPEL

Use main_baseurl option to force a specific mirror:

class { 'epel':
  main_baseurl => "https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/\$basearch",
}

Generated yum repo will look like this:

[epel]

name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
baseurl=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
