As far as I know, we don't have an `rpm`-specific state.  We do have state support for handling repos and keys for `yum`, but not specifically for `rpm`.  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.  =)

We do have an `rpm` module, but after looking over it briefly, it looks like it can only show installed packages, verify packages, and show the contents of packages.  You could create an issue, or you could add to the `rpm` module and create a state yourself!  =D

Let me preface this with "you're doing it wrong." Use yum, that's what it's designed to do, and yum gets pissy if you edit the rpm database outside of yum.

That said, you can hack it:

install-nonsense:
  cmd.run:
    - unless: 'rpm -q zabbixzone-release'

Test obviously, I haven't run this nonsense myself.

Right, I've been dropping the repo files into /etc/yum.repos.d/ like any other file; it works a treat.

I think ideally you'd have a repo_name-release.rpm packaged for each
repo you want to install if the repo itself doesn't provide one. You
might need an out-of-band mechanism to collect and install that
package, though.

Right, that gets into something of a chicken and egg problem. :-)

Just use the file state to put the repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ and
again use the file state to install the RPM key (/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/).
Or you could just point the repo file to look online for the key. That
gets a little risky so use your own judgement.
