Precedence Q: repos -> packages

[Guy Matz]

Hi!  I first used this sort of thing:

stage { 'yum' : before => Stage['main'] }

and tagged ll of my yumrepos with a stage of yum.  This doesn't work so well for downloaded modules, so I'm thinking of using:

Yumrepo <| |> -> Package <| |>

Is there a downside?  Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Guy

P.S. - Sorry for asking; I'm sure this has been asked a zillion times, but I haven't been able to find a good answer.

Anything?

Appreciated!

That has been working fine for me for at least a year now, with the caveat that I also have these bits for when a yum repo changes:

# if any yum repository changes, clean all yum cache
File <| tag == 'yumrepo-file' |> ~> Exec[$yumcleaner]

# clean the yum cache before any package installs
Exec[$yumcleaner] -> Package <| |>
