[Gabriel Nagy (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Gabriel Nagy commented on PUP-10268   Re: Investigate what would mean to have semantic versions for Package Resource SemanticPuppet::Version and SemanticPuppet::VersionRange are implemented in puppet (ruby) their counterparts: SemVer[], and SemVerRange() are implemented as types in the puppet language a semver range can be passed into a package resource... package { 'mc': ensure => SemVerRange('>= 1.0.0 <2.0.0'), } ...but has to be handled in each provider separately: if @resource.should(:ensure).is_a?(SemanticPuppet::VersionRange) # do stuff range = @resource.should(:ensure) end 2.6.3 :001 > require 'puppet' => true 2.6.3 :002 > version = SemanticPuppet::Version.parse('0.9.1') 2.6.3 :003 > range = SemanticPuppet::VersionRange.parse(">=1.0.0 <2.0.0") 2.6.3 :004 > version => 0.9.1 2.6.3 :005 > range => >=1.0.0 <2.0.0 2.6.3 :006 > range.include?(version) => false for each provider we have to keep a list of possible versions for each package e.g. gem: $ gem search --all --exact irb irb (1.2.1, 1.2.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.0, 1.0.0, 0.9.6) sort the versions in descending order (newest first) and install the first one that conforms to the SemVerRange Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
