Issue #7183 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
I am undecided, but extending the syntax to support the '1.x' later if we want to go down that complex path is possible; for the moment lets try the simple version, and then grow it later if we need to. We can uniquely distinguish this syntax from the other. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7183: Implement "invisible glob" version matching for faces https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7183 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: Immediate Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Faces Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: At the moment we only support "exact match" when requesting a face to either extend, or use. This is kind of undesirable in the face of our use of semantic versioning, under which the last digit is utterly irrelevant to the end user almost all the time, and they totally do *not* want to explicitly stick with the current set of bugs forever. We should implement "invisible glob", or "prefix" matching: you specify digits from the left, and we treat the highest version that matches that prefix to be the one you wanted: 1 => 1.0.0, 1.1.*, etc 1.1 => 1.1.*, but not 1.0.* or 1.2.* This won't be sufficient forever, since someone will eventually want to match "1.1 or greater", but it doesn't shut the door on extending the syntax when we get that far, and we can have this working right now, for release 0. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
