Re: [HTCondor-users] building condor rpm metapackage (to avoid circular dependencies)

[Michael Thomas <wart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Benoit,

You could use an exec resource in puppet to install multiple packages at 
once:

exec {'install condor':
    command => 'yum install condor-credmon-mytoken condor python3-condor',
}

but admittedly, this also has its problems and is probably not the best 
solution.

However, since you're already hacking at the spec file, you could either 
remove the circular dependencies in the spec file yourself, or add your 
own 'condor-all' metapackage to the spec file that Requires: everything 
you want to install.
