As far as control of software package versions,
I would think you could use the "ensure" metaparameter for the "package" type
package { "foo":
...
ensure => "1.2.3.4.5-1",
...
}
as opposed to
package { "foo":
...
ensure => latest,
...
}
The first one would give you more control - it would only install when the
catalog is updated rather than auto-updating when a new version appears.
A side-question:
Assume I move from
package { "foo": ensure => "1.2-0", }
to
package { "foo": ensure => "1.5-0", }
and then find that the update breaks other things. Would changing the catalog
back remove the newer version and re-load the older one ?
