Jira (PUP-5237) Have Package resource to lock versions of Packages

[Eric Sorenson (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Eric Sorenson updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-5237 Have Package resource to lock versions of Packages Change By: Eric Sorenson Ok, in summary can we use puppet's package resource to lock in a version update of a package using yum version lock (RHEL, CentOS) or Apt-mark hold (Ubuntu). This is so that puppet doesn't update a package when an agent run is initiated.  EG: So let’s say you have a package resource defined as follows: {code} package { 'puppet': ensure => '3.7.5-1.el7', } {code } Then if you do a system update (this could be via command line, mCollective, exec resource of “yum update -y”, etc) you end up with this: puppet resource package puppet {code} package { 'puppet': ensure => '3.8.2-1.el7', } {code } We want to avoid this from happening by having a package resource pinning of locking a package to that version.
