same modulename from different authors #277

Hi,

what's the best practice, if I have a Module theforeman-foreman_proxy which depends on theforeman-dns (which i don't need nor use) and i'd like to use ajjahn-dns from https://github.com/ajjahn/puppet-dns.git ? At the moment I get theforeman-dns by running librarian with this configuration:

mod 'theforeman-foreman_proxy', '2.1.0' mod 'ajjahn-dns', :git => 'https://github.com/ajjahn/puppet-dns'

Best regards, Frank

there's no option to explicitly add an exclusion

On a similar note, am I the only that also found that if you have modules requiring different dependencies with the same name – librarian will happily plod along, download one... then overwrite it with the other – no error.

If what I am seeing is correct, that is crazy.

Example:

mod "puppetlabs-concat", "~> 1.2.0"
mod "puppetlabs/postgresql", "~> 2.4.1"

This left me with ripienaar-concat (0.2.0) – because I was using old postgresql module that requires it... this not causing an error in dependency resolution is nuts. NB: I saw whilst it was doing an update run – it'd install puppetlabs-concat first, then overwrite it.
