Re: How to you manage yum and package "workflow"

[James Cape]

Michael,

I've got the production network, and an isolated test network (cobbler
is dual-homed). The test network pulls from a different set of
packages, based on the puppet $environment variable... So puppet
manages the stuff in yum.repos.d, and adds whatever 3p-$env-$arch
evaluates to, for example.

My cobbler profiles are all pointed at prod, though there's a hole in
the testing (dear liza) where you can push a package to prod without
testing a clean install---I'm leaning towards solving that with
separate profiles for testing, which would pull in the the those repos
for the install separately.

Thanks,
