Hi James, I am working in an environment that uses RH Satellite; based on
everyone's input though I will get the RPMs added into a 3rd party
repository.
Thanks for the inputs everyone. I have deployed the module already, but I
will redesign it with this separate report as suggested.

This would be the ideal but you *can* use the rpm provider when needed.
For example:
package { 'jdk':
ensure => installed,
provider => 'rpm',
source => '/pub/oracle/jdk-8-linux-x64.rpm',
}
This will install the rpm using the defined source path. In our
environment the /pub dire

To manage an RPM not in yum, put it into yum.

We should note that yumrepo is a native type in puppet that you can use to
manage the remote repo information on nodes, and there's a (from memory)
palli/createrepo module to create and maintain the yum repo itself. It's
not that difficult to add createrepo to a role and set up a node as your

CONTROL repositories should never contain binary objects.
Just want to differentiate that from yum repositories.

There are a number of reasons it's not a great idea to put them in the
module, but one is that if you start sticking binary artifacts into your
Puppet code, the size of the repos(s) will grow a lot and it will be much
slower to clone them. Also it's just not how people expect things to work.

Warron,
And if my previous email solves #1 & #2, then #3 is an addition of an exec
resource, then adding it at the end of the dependency chain:
[root@localhost myinstallmodule]# cat manifests/init.pp
class myinstallmodule {
exec { 'dothething':
command => 'echo "look it works!"; logger look
Warron,
Correct. Garret is right. It is not best to deliver RPMs as part of the
payload-contents of the Puppet Module, and do not store RPMs in a git repo
(or whatever version control system you might be using).
Yes, "yum localinstall" exists and but RPMs are best delivered via the OS's
native pac
Repositories should _never_ contain binary objects. The only exception I
ever allow my developers is graphical assets related to websites.

Garrett, thanks.
So, to clarify for myself in terms of a BEST practice are you declaring
"don't deliver RPMs as part of the payload of the Puppet Module?" *I just
got that part working. :-/* I don't mind correction, but I don't want to
go down the rabbit hole.
Secondly, using an exec resource

Hello all,
can someone please advise me on a proper set of syntax (a file to look at)
for an example to follow to solve the following challenge:
1. I have 2 deliver 2 *.rpm files that are not in a YUM repository, so I
dropped them into the files directory of my module path.
2. I need to
