Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: 0000848: upgrade packages to latest available version with yum Author: toddnni Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,23809,23824#msg-23824
Hi Sven, I understand what you are after. However cfengine needs version when updating a package so that it can check if it is to be updated or not. A package update promise without version would not be convergent because the goal is not specific (from cfengine's point of view). If you want to rely on your repository, then I think that you could also rely on your package manager and use a (non convergent) command promise to call the package manager directly to update all installed packages. (Or maybe you could configure your package_method to always try to update every package). Maybe cfengine could be modified somehow to fetch the latest version from the repository, but currently I don't see this useful enough. How about others? Do you agree with my view? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
