What if we taught the yum provider to know about "yum groupinstall" ?
That way you could add packages into comps.xml and reference them
together, which would also be faster than referencing each one by one.
While it would not technically be a 'package' this might be also a
decent workaround solution to the 'yum transactions are not batched'
problem.
package { "stuff"
ensure => latest,
is_group => true,
...
}
Thoughts?
