On Linux, you would do this:
install.pp:
class base_puppet_agent::install {
case $::operatingsystem {
windows : {
package { 'PuppetWindows':
name => 'Puppet',
ensure => installed,
source =>
'puppet:\\\modules\base_puppet_agent\puppet-3.2.3-rc1.msi',
provider => windows
}
}
centos, redhat: {
package { 'puppet':
ensure => latest, # <--------
}
}
}
}
And the Linux package provider would know when a new version is available. I
am not sure if Windows can do that.

ensure
What state the package should be in. On packaging systems that can retrieve new
packages on their own, you can choose which package to retrieve by specifying a
version number or latest as the ensure value. On packaging systems that manage
configuration files separately from “normal” system files, you can uninstall
config files by specifying purged as the ensure value. Valid values are present
(also calledinstalled), absent, purged, held, latest. Values can match /./.
