Yumrepo doesn't remove lines in these other cases, so I'm pretty sure it isn't removing lines for these Remi repositories either. > Why would you wan't to manage the yumrepo file with puppet if its already > installed by the remo-release rpm? > The 'remi-release' RPM provides most of what I need, such as the base .repo files, the yum keys, etc. However, I also want to tweak a few settings-- I'd like to enable and disable certain repos, and set their Priority for yum-priorities. This is a pretty common thing to do with Yum. You might wonder why do I not use `yumrepo` exclusively? I prefer to follow a principle of least change for my systems. Since the RPM does most of the automation for me, I'd prefer to use that and use `yumrepo` to apply the smallest number of changes that I need. If the upstream vendor makes changes to their repositories, a new RPM will apply those changes. I've been bitten by a few Puppet Forge modules where the `yumrepo` definitions didn't stay up to date with the upstream vendor's changes.
