Actually, the question that puppet wants to ask at that point is 'does foo need to be updated' where 'updated' means needing an install if the package is not installed yet or needing an update if a newer version is available. > I am somewhat inclined to agree it needs to exit with something else. > Then again I'm also inclined to think that puppet needs to stop using > yum on the cli as an 'interface' to program against. I'd agree with that though none of the other options seem much more workable, considering that that mechanism needs to work over a wide variety of distros. One option would be to use repoquery, but even that doesn't cover all platforms where yum is the main means of package updates (e.g. RHEL5 GA) David _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
