Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module.

USAGE

• Just leave the default options: Automatic detection of Operating System (RedHat, Centos, Scientific supported) Epel repo installation, keeping of local yum files, automatic updates disabled.

    class { 'yum':
    }
  

• Enable automatic updates via cron (updatesd is supported only on 5)

    class { 'yum':
      update => 'cron',
    }
  

• Purge local /etc/yum.repos.d/ and enforce its contents only via a custom source

    class { 'yum':
      source_repo_dir => 'puppet:///modules/example42/yum/conf/',
      clean_repos     => true,
    }
  

• Enable EPEL and PuppetLabs repos

    class { 'yum':
      extrarepo => [ 'epel' , 'puppetlabs' ],
    }
  

• Do not include any extra repo (By default EPEL is added)

    class { 'yum':
      extrarepo => '' ,
    }
  

• Automatically copy in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg all the rpm-gpg keys known by the yum module (this was the "old" and intrusive behaviour, now each rpm-gpg key may be individually provided by the yum::manages_repos' gpgkey_source parameter)

    class { 'yum':
      install_all_keys => true ,
    }
  

• Include a selected extra repo

    include yum::repo::puppetlabs
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing yum configuration files

    class { 'yum':
      audit_only => true
    }
  

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { 'yum':
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/yum/yum.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/yum/yum.conf" ],
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { 'yum':
      source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/yum/conf/',
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'yum':
      template => 'example42/yum/yum.conf.erb',
    }
  

• Automatically include a custom subclass

    class { 'yum':
      my_class => 'yum::example42',
    }
  

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)

    class { 'yum':
      puppi    => true,
    }
  

• Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

    class { 'yum':
      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => 'myhelper',
    }
