Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager It's been very quiet on this subject for a while now. Just wanted to say there are still people out there who would really appreciate it if this feature would work! Even a way to specify your own batches would be awesome... I wouldn't mind figuring out which packages can go into a batch myself if Puppet provided a way to install these batches. Add Comment

Just for a short node: This feature would allow downgrade of packages with dependencies in yum. When downgrading packages with dependencies, you need to downgrade all packages within a single yum call, otherwise downgrading will fail.

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

I am annoyed we haven't seen any progress on this and instead we are still forced to use Exec resource hacks to work around the issue hoping later there will be a code re-factor. It seems there have been multiple tickets open on JIRA already on this very issue including "PUP-1061" which seems to be a year old. There was a patch submitted as well some time ago for dealing with this issue with a "combine" option for the package class. From: https://github.com/phantez/puppet/commit/51ff88c950c172e6060ae63c1c71968e7898b462 I suspect this is no longer applicable given no progress has been made other than a community patch that got re-based at least once since this issue was brought up 4 years. Is there no one looking at this problem?

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

Yes, sadly, there's been no progress on this, and it's not currently planned. So many things to do and somehow this hasn't made it to the top of anyone's list. Roy Williams I wasn't aware of that patch but that looks like a solid starting point. From a quick look, I do have some questions about it, but probably awkward to discuss here. Do any of the watchers here want to kick off a PR or a thread on puppet-dev? It'd be easier to discuss in one of those venues. Thanks!!

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

Macquarie Group in Australia have requested this functionality. Is it still active? It's this sort of thing that will creep up on us when a competitor brings out better functionality (looking at you Red Hat) as it's not particularly sexy, it's just a fundamental requirement.

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager I just assumed that this is how puppet already worked until digging into why installing many packages with puppet was so much slower than ansible; I then discovered puppet creates a separate yum transaction for every single package even when I have them in the same list for the package resource. I am surprised to see this is still an issue more than 7 years later after being reported. Please add this functionality. The better performance of running masterless puppet with puppet apply over running ansible local is one of the primary reasons we were attempting to move more of our configuration to puppet. However, since a large portion of our configuration involves installing packages, not being able to do that quickly is a problem for us.

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

Besides of the performance issue I'm phasing the issue that I'm not able to downgrade packages with dependencies e.g. running something equivalent to:   # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 running:   # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 # yum downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 ends up in errors like:   Error: Could not update: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64' returned 1: Error: Package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) Requires: java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Removing: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Downgraded By: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 Error: Package: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) Requires: java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 Installed: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9.x86_64 (@rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.282.b08-1.el7_9 Available: 1:java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9.x86_64 (rhel-7-server-rpms) java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.275.b01-0.el7_9 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Workarounding this with an exec feels not correct.

Re: Install multiple packages with one call to the underlying package manager

Are there any news about this issue? It is nearly 10 years old and still a very serious performance problem. I would be very glad to see a solution for it.
