Issue #8975 has been updated by Mike Cooper.
How would you feel about, instead of the ``cmp`` parameter, instead making the
ensure property a bit more intelligent and allow something like this:
package { apache:
ensure => ">=2.2.17",
}

Feature #8975: Create comparator parameter to package provider(s)

Currently the package provide assumes you want an exact version of a package
when you pass it to puppet. However in some cases it would be great to have
more flexibility in that you can do things such as "upgrade if version >=2.0".
I propose we add a comparator parameter called "cmp" which has the following
attributes:
* `=` version installed must be equal to version
* `<` version installed must be less than version
* `>` version installed must be greater than version
* `<=` version installed must be less than or equal to version
* `>=` version installed must be creater than or equal to version
Code example:
<pre>
package { apache:
ensure => "2.2.17",
cmp => ">=",
}
</pre>
This would allow me to push package upgrades based on versions on critical
packages instead of using "latest" and having puppet do it whenever the new
package appears. The default behavior when its unset is to use `=`.
