yum provider refers to ghost package

[ggeldenhuis]

If you set the provider attribute to yum it tries and install a package called rubygem-r10k. However that package does not exist nor can I find any reference for creating the package.

Hi @ggeldenhuis. There are no rpms as far as I know. At least the Arch Linux people are working on packages, but there are no available for RHEL platform. You need to create your own or stick with the gem/puppet_gem provider.

@ggeldenhuis This piece of code is almost 6 years old and was introduced with version 1.0.0.

As far as I know, we can remove support for the providers yum and zypper, because this was introduced for RHEL 5, SLES 11 and current releases do not provide the package rubygem-r10k anymore?

@bastelfreak Any idea if we still need to support packages / ports for OpenBSD? I would like to drop everything except the providers bundle, gem and puppet_gem.

According to this comment of @rnelson0 Puppet Entprise does not need to install r10k.
