YumRpm

Yum Package Type

Overview

YumRpm: Yum Package Type

This package type maps the extract command to Yum's install/update commands. Basically, creating an instance of the type that sets the package-filename attribute to the RPM package name you want (e.g. "graphviz") will result in the extract command executing either Yum the install ("yum install graphviz") or update command ("yum update graphviz") depending on whether or not the package is already installed. Note that the get and finish commands are over-ridden to eliminate interactions with the ControlTier DAV repository since the package itself is in Yum's repository.
