I take a pragmatic approach: if the package comes from our custom repository I have ensure => latest - the reason being that we control what goes into that repo and we are all aware that adding a new version of a package into the repo will also deploy it: simply saves a few steps. However I don't think puppet is the correct tool to _directly_ update your entire system. We prefer to use a combination of yum versionlock, yum updatesd and other yum plugins which gives us quite fine grained control of updates. We then control the configs & deployment of those plugins via puppet - so puppet does our "meta package management"... -ross --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
