NG Puppet Module for CentOS 6.5

yumng

Yum package provider that supports proper version locking using the versionlock yum plugin.

Tested on

• Puppet 3.4/3.5
• CentOS 6.5 (yum-3.2.29-43.el6.centos.noarch, yum-plugin-versionlock-1.1.30-17.el6_5.noarch)

Usage

• Put this module in modules/yumng

• In your site manifest or base class include the following

  class { 'yumng': stage => 'setup'; } Package { provider => 'yumng' }

Why?

In a puppet environment where versions are enforced for packages it is nearly impossible to yum update a box - you either change the package version, which puppet tries to change back, or break things.

This uses the versionlock plugin to tell yum a package is locked to a certain version, meaning you can yum update all day long without bypassing puppet.
