I just posted this to the list the other day.

You should treat Mac packages like you do other platforms. You don't
reinstall the same version, you install a newer version.

We follow this model:

$foo_pkg = "foo-2009010101.dmg"

package { "$foo_pkg":
  ensure => installed,
  source => "$pkg_base/foo/$foo_pkg",
}

Then all you do is bump the version number when you want to upgrade to a
newer version, like:


$foo_pkg = "foo-2009091001.dmg"

package { "$foo_pkg":
  ensure => installed,
  source => "$pkg_base/foo/$foo_pkg",
}
