Issue #2406 has been updated by Aaron Stone.
Please reject this proposal with extreme prejudice. Why? Because you are asking for a config option that would perform an apt-get update on every invocation of this class on every puppet run. You don't want that. You want a given puppet run to be able to look at the currently-installed version, look at the manifest version, and if they match, STOP. You don't want the current puppet run to have to say, "well, the versions match, but what if there's a new version on the server? Guess I should pull down the debian updates and check again!" ---------------------------------------- Feature #2406: APT provider's ensure parameter should support release name https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2406#change-78793 Author: Andrew Pollock Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: Debian Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: This is a feature request received via Debian, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513553 > > I'd like to be able to specify something like: > package { > "openoffice.org": ensure => "etch-backports"; > } > > This would call: > apt-get install openoffice.org/etch-backports > or > apt-get install -t etch-backports openoffice.org > > instead of: > apt-get install openoffice.org=etch-backports > > Can puppet check if the ensure parameter starts with a digit and decide > accordingly? > -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
