Hello,

I got many classes, using the well known template ...

  package
     ensure => XXX
     notify => service

  file 
     require => package
     notify => service

  service
     require => File, Package


... with ensure value XXX set to 'latest'.


This implies that package could be updated when I change a value
in config file even if I don't want to update it  ... especially in 
production ...

A solution can be changing all ensure value to 'present' or 'installed' but 
I'm not
the owner of the code so I would like to know if there is a way to

- deactivate the package update through a command line option ?
- change the ensure value using 

  - a command line option
  - a fact
  - a tag 
  - ???



More generally, what's the best practice to manage software updates using 
puppet :

- ensure => present    
- fix pkg repositories   :/
- ???


Thanks a lot 


     François
