Title: Message Title

Gabriel Nagy created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10297 Add SemVerRange support to apt package provider Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/02/18 4:27 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Gabriel Nagy Implement SemVerRange type support for the apt provider. Sample manifest with a range passed for a package: package { 'puppet-agent': # this will be parsed as: >= 6.0.0 < 6.1.0 ensure => SemVerRange('~> 6.0') }   package { 'puppet-agent': ensure => SemVerRange('>= 6.5') }   package { 'puppet-agent': ensure => SemVerRange('< 6.4') }   package { 'puppet-agent': # this is a valid range which we can support ensure => SemVerRange('~> 6.0 || ~> 6.11') } The apt provider does not support a version range passed in the install command, so we have to: find out the available versions for a specific package (usually with apt-cache policy) install the most recent package which respects the range. We should also make sure we don't take additional actions if the range is already satisfied (i.e. puppet apply with a SemVerRange should be idempotent) Sample code on how the ensure property can be treated inside the provider: if @resource.should(:ensure).is_a?(SemanticPuppet::VersionRange) # these should be sorted in descending order available_versions = `apt-cache -a show #{@resource.name} | grep Version | awk '{print $2}'`.split range = @resource.should(:ensure)   available.versions.any? { |version| range.include?(version.to_stable) } end Example apt-get install with a specific version: apt-get install puppet-agent=6.3.0-1jessie 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.
