12/15/2025, 2:05 PMWe are trying to transition from a deprecated Example42 module for yum configuration where we used:
yum::managed_yumrepo { "${baserepofilename}-baseos_latest":
descr => "${basedescr} baseos_latest",
baseurl => "${baseurloracle}/baseos_latest/${basearch}",
enabled => true,
gpgcheck => true,
notify => Exec['installera_rpm_gpg'],
}
What would "yum::managed_yumrepo" translate into for the official yum repo? we can't find in the docs..

12/16/2025, 8:49 AMIs there any way to make sure that the repos you define are the only ones present in /etc/yum-repos.d" and not e.g. the default repos provisoned by the base installation? We are using our own mirrors...

Copy code
file { '/etc/yum.repos.d/':
ensure => 'directory',
purge => true, # remove all unmanaged files
recurse => true,
