Issue #4953 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs design decision to Needs more information
I like the idea. Can you expand a bit on how the logic works with: is_pattern = zypper "--quiet", "search", "-t", "pattern", wanted is this an expensive operation? Can you list some patterns so we can see what they look like? ---------------------------------------- Feature #4953: Zypper Provider should support Patterns https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4953 Author: Daniel Grafe Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: package Target version: Affected version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: SUSE defines software package lists called patterns. These patterns are combining related packages to useful software collections. For instance, the pattern "Basis-Devel" would give you the autotools, gcc, kernel sources etc... Zypper can be used to install all packages from these lists by installing the pattern when setting the type explicitely to pattern. For example: zypper install -t pattern Basis-Devel When using the zypper provider in puppet it would be nice to be able to install these patterns. Please find attached our quick modification of the provider. It will detect if the given name identifies a pattern or a package and will call zypper with the appropriate flags. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
