Description

it would be nice if there was a way to purge any yum repo’s that were not managed by puppet.

file { "/etc/yum.repos.d": ensure => directory, recurse => true, purge => true }

a file type purge would work if the resulting repo file from a yumrepo type was labeled as a file resource too.

Have you looked at the resource type – http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#resources?

Thankyou i was not aware of that type, however it doesn’t do it. It raises an error.

err: Could not create yumrepo: Parameter purge failed: Purging is only supported on types that accept 'ensure'

949 is not a duplicate of this ticket. #949 asks for the ability to “ensure => absent” as well as “present”. The yumrepo resource is not currently “ensurable” and thusly can not be purged using the “resources” resource type. Purging allows us to declare that only managed repos will be available on a host. All other repos will be removed.

Would it be possible for yumrepo to simply define a File resource and update the content of the file through that? This would allow for: * Tidying of /etc/yum.repos.d * Filebucketing of the managed file (#2027)

This would’ve been trivial with a macro:

define yumrepo(...) {
file {"/etc/yum.repos.d/$name.repo":
    ...
}

}

You should be able to purge repositories not managed by Puppet, yes.

Duping in favor of another ticket to make it ensurable that references these two.
