Option 1: define separate Yumrepos for the RHEL5 repositories, with appropriate dependencies, and define Packages' Yumrepo dependencies conditionally based on OS release. Option 2: define the Yumrepo properties conditionally based on OS release. Which of these best suits may depend on what work you have already done. Surely you are not declaring RHEL6 Yumrepos for your RHEL5 boxes (or else fix that!), so just make your Packages 'require' the Yumrepos that you are actually declaring. That's the essence of both options. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
