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',
  }
