Issue #17745 has been reported by Pierre Larsson. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17745: Comparing package versions in puppet behaves differently to yum https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17745
Author: Pierre Larsson Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.19 Keywords: Branch: I'm trying to make use of the yum downgrade functionality which is described in Issue #2866. Our build process creates packages with a typical rpm version say: foo-2.2-405.noarch.rpm which compared with package foo-2.2-406.noarch.rpm works perfectly fine But If I build a local version of my package there is no build number and the package is named for ex: foo-2.2-SNAPSHOT20121119105647.noarch.rpm which compared with foo-2.2-405.noarch.rpm in puppet returns as a higher version. With foo-2.2-405.noarch.rpm installed I can do yum downgrade foo-2.2-SNAPSHOT20121119105647 but the same thing in a puppet manifest fails at this stage in puppet/provider/package/yum.rb: <pre>if is && Puppet::Util::Package.versioncmp(should, is[:ensure]) < 0</pre> Which leads me to: puppet/util/package.rb where the version compare is happening. Can this be updated to compare the versions in the same way yum does? For completeness I want the puppet manifests to be the same in all environments, from LOCAL->DEV->QA->PROD and not have to add any extra exec's to uninstall packages.
