Issue #2061 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
I think we'd be violating the principle of least surprise to enforce this on gems. http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/10 `gem cleanup <foo>` will clean up old versions of a specific gem, `gem cleanup` will clean up all old versions. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2061: uninstall specific packages that are versionable https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2061 Author: Lawrence Ludwig Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: package Target version: unplanned Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Branch: While you can install specific versions via the 'ensure' option, you cannot uninstall (remove) specific packages. Use case with Hudson issue: Ruby's rake gem 0.8.4 was buggy with Hudson and had to downgrade to 0.8.3. While I can specify to install 0.8.3 via Puppet, I could not make sure 0.8.4 was removed via puppet. Both versions existed. The current workaround is using exec hack. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
