Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: 0000848: upgrade packages to latest available version with yum Author: svenXY Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,23809,23809#msg-23809
Hi, puppet supports a method "ensure => latest" which takes care of always installing the latest available version of a package. I believe this is a very important feature of automated system configuration, at least in the light of security updates or staging environments. The current yum package method and its decendants require a version to be specified explicitely which does not at all scale with large environments. Would it be possible to add this feature to cfengine? I've seen a couple of Forum threads where people try to work around this missing feature, most of them without satisfying results. Thanks in advance, Sven The feature request is here: https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=848 _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
