Issue #13213 has been updated by Chris Price. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
This sounds like something that we'd love to support, but I'm not sure when we'll be able to devote resources to it. A patch would be readily accepted for consideration, though. Thanks for the report! ---------------------------------------- Bug #13213: Yum provider doesn't understand globs https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13213#change-58641 Author: Abel Lopez Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: yum version Branch: Yum understands globs in regards to version numbers. On the command line, if I say "`yum install puppet-2.6*`", I will get the latest version of 2.6 available, even if a 2.7 version exists in my repositories. If I use this in a manifest, such as `ensure => '2.6*'`, puppet attempts to install "literally `puppet-2.6*`", as if asterisk was a version number, producing an error err: /Stage[main]/Puppet/Package[puppet]/ensure: change from 2.6.14-1.el5 to 2.6* failed: Could not update: Failed to update to version 2.6*, got version 2.6.14-1.el5 instead Yum exits with `$? = 0` with this format. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
