---------------------------------------- Feature #7183: Implement "invisible glob" version matching for faces https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7183#change-92361 * Author: Daniel Pittman * Status: Closed * Priority: Immediate * Assignee: * Category: Faces * Target version: 2.7.0 * Affected Puppet version: development * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- At the moment we only support "exact match" when requesting a face to either extend, or use. This is kind of undesirable in the face of our use of semantic versioning, under which the last digit is utterly irrelevant to the end user almost all the time, and they totally do *not* want to explicitly stick with the current set of bugs forever. We should implement "invisible glob", or "prefix" matching: you specify digits from the left, and we treat the highest version that matches that prefix to be the one you wanted: 1 => 1.0.0, 1.1.*, etc 1.1 => 1.1.*, but not 1.0.* or 1.2.* This won't be sufficient forever, since someone will eventually want to match "1.1 or greater", but it doesn't shut the door on extending the syntax when we get that far, and we can have this working right now, for release 0. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
