Issue #12179 has been updated by Reid Vandewiele.
Suggestion: add a package type feature `minimum_versionable` whose behavior is
described as
feature :minimum_versionable, "The provider is capable of selectively
upgrading to the latest version of a package if and only if the
installed version is less than a provided minimum version. Using a
minimum version of 1.5-2 as an example, this feature is used by
specifing `>= 1.5-2` as the desired value for the package."
An example implementation is given
[here](https://github.com/marut/puppet/compare/puppetlabs:b19931ad8b0dc7f...marut:8975_package_feature_minimum_versionable).
I haven't written rspec tests or anything like that yet so it's not mergeable,
but it's complete enough for discussion.

Feature #12179: Package resource should allow ensure=>">1.0" or ensure=>"<0.10"
as well as 'latest', 'installed' and specific version number

It would be helpful if the 'ensure' parameter to the Package resrouce could
also specify 'at least version **x**' and 'no later than version **y**' as well
as 'latest version', 'installed' (IE, any version) or a specific version number.
EG:
package { 'foo': ensure=>'>1.0' }
would act as 'latest' if the current package was uninstalled or version before
1.0, but would act as 'installed' otherwise. Similarly,
package { 'foo': ensure=>'<4.0' }
would act as 'installed' if version is <4.0 but would produce an error
otherwise.
This would allow us to set a manifest to avoid packages with known problems in
a certain version, but not upgrade unless necessary.
