Description

Subscribe support for the Package type

It would be nice if Package would support subcsribe/notify, i.e. being run only when the counterpart gets updated.

Concrete case: I have locally-stored rpms I get from a file {} in puppet, and package { provider => rpm, source => "/some/path/package.rpm" }, and the package gets evaluated each time. I then get an error from puppetd, because rpm tells it it couldn't install the package as it is already there.
