New Feature

As of Puppet 5.4.0, the :source attribute to a package resource using the yum provider can be an http or file url to a remote/local file, and the provider will use yum's built in support for installing the file directly with dependency management.

No Action
Description
This should result in the remote package being installed, with all dependencies:
package{'activemq':
|
source => 'http://www.netconsonance.com/downloads/activemq-5.9.1-2.el6.noarch.rpm',
|
ensure => present,
|
}
|
What actually happens is that the latest version available in the configured yum repos is installed.
Explicitly specifying provider => 'rpm' downloads and installs the remote package, but will fail if all dependencies are not already installed.
yum supports this, ie. "yum install http://www.netconsonance.com/downloads/activemq-5.9.1-2.el6.noarch.rpm" will download the package and install with all dependencies, so I think the puppet yum provider should support this too.
