Now that the install_options parameter can be applied to all package
providers, does anyone have advice on the best way to specify options to
yum?

For example, considering the common pattern of leaving a repo disabled most
of the time, if I wanted to pass

--enablerepo=epel

to yum, would I set

install_options => ['--enablerepo=epel']

or

install_options => [{'--enablerepo' => 'epel'}]

or

install_options => {'--enablerepo' => 'epel'}

or something completely different?

Hi Ellison,

While install_options (and uninstall_options) are part of the package
type, only the msi/windows package provider supports them currently.
See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package

There are some tickets for updating other package providers to support
those options, but AFAIK, that has not been implemented yet.

Oh, my mistake. I was looking at the breaking changes and saw

"Previously, the package resource’s install_options parameter was only used
by the MSI package provider"

and assumed it meant all providers were given that option, but looking at
the chart in the type reference, it's only msi, sun and windows. Thanks for
the clarification.
