2 years ago @KpuCko I use a 'trick' to achieve that: using another directory instead and removing all *.repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d/
# ensure the 'reposdir' value is changed before deploying any repositories
Yumrepo { require => Yum::Config['reposdir'], }
file { '/etc/yum.managed-repos.d':
ensure => 'directory',
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0755',
}
# changing the default directory to avoid name conflicts with exisiting
# repository files and to minimize the number of active repositories
yum::config { 'reposdir':
ensure => '/etc/yum.managed-repos.d',
require => File['/etc/yum.managed-repos.d'],
}
# make sure no unnecessary repo files are present
tidy { '/etc/yum.repos.d':
matches => [ '*.repo' ],
recurse => true,
backup => false,
require => Yum::Config['reposdir'],
}
# create symlink for team members searching for repo files
file { '/etc/yum.repos.d/you-are-looking-for':
ensure => 'link',
target => '/etc/yum.managed-repos.d',
require => File['/etc/yum.managed-repos.d'],
} The result looks like this:
# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 23 2020 you-are-looking-for -> /etc/yum.managed-repos.d
# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/you-are-looking-for/
total 56

Hello guys, I'm about to replace all of my manually managed repositories with the ones managed by puppet completely. So far so good, by using this module I'm able to populate all the repos via Hiera data (this is what I use) so I can differentiate between os_family, distro, hostname et cetera.
Here the problem arises, because there is nothing about - purge_default_repos, I'm looking forward to see how I can achieve this. For instance, I want to remove all the repos in /etc/yum.repos.d, then populate the folder with puppet created repos.
I think this can be done with simple exec, or file remove with recursive function for /etc/yum.repos.d, then execute the yum class after this, but because of lack of my knowledge, I'm not sure I'm on the right track.
Any suggestions and examples are more then welcomed. Thanks in advance.
