Issue #2709 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
This ability is already available for all package providers which support version specification (see http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#id806). Simply use the version string as the ensure value. ---------------------------------------- Feature #2709: Add 'ensure => exact' to the package resource http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2709 Author: Andrey Smirnov Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: The package resource already has: present, absent, purged, and latest values for ensure. This is asking to add a new value of "exact" (could be called something else). This value would force a package installation even if this package with higher version is already installed (e.g. force pkg version 99 in all cases, even if version 111 of this pkg exists). This would be very useful in an application rollback scenario, when it's needed to downgrade a package to a previous version. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
