Issue #17102 has been updated by Michael Stahnke.

Assignee changed from Michael Stahnke to Andrew  Parker

Apt supports this via pinning.  It can do regex in the pin string.

Yum doesn't really at all.  I could probably hack up something in a provider 
using a mixture of repoquery and yum to do it.  Another option would be to 
write a yum plugin to do something like this. Either way, this would help the 
user community greatly.

Bug #17102: Puppet Package type should support ranges of software versions
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17102#change-74451

Author: Michael Stahnke
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Andrew  Parker
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: range version
Branch: 


There are cases where system administrators want to keep updated within a 
specific range/branch.   Examples would be something like Apache or even Puppet 
itself.

The syntax could look like:

    package { "puppet":
      ensure => range(2.7.x),
    }
    
(it could just as easily use regexes, a min and a max, etc)  This was just an 
idea.
