It would also, however, realize every virtual Yumrepo and every virtual Package declared for each node, which is contrary to David's intent and purpose.
It might be possible to declare tags on repos, and on packages if necessary, and to use them to filter the repositories to be realized and chained. However, if the use of stages is restricted to applying Yumrepos first then I think that would be clean and reasonably safe. I say this as a person who is not particularly enamored of run stages in general. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
