Issue #2406 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
(Andy is away from computers at the moment) It's hard to tell, as it's not functionality we currently have... but I can definitely see the utility here in wanting to ensure packages from a given release name. I don't think I'm in favor of overloading the ensure parameter though, but could possibly be convinced. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2406: APT provider's ensure parameter should support release name http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2406 Author: Andrew Pollock Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Debian Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: This is a feature request received via Debian, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513553 > > I'd like to be able to specify something like: > package { > "openoffice.org": ensure => "etch-backports"; > } > > This would call: > apt-get install openoffice.org/etch-backports > or > apt-get install -t etch-backports openoffice.org > > instead of: > apt-get install openoffice.org=etch-backports > > Can puppet check if the ensure parameter starts with a digit and decide > accordingly? > -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
