I have had success with creating a simple parameterised class (cosign) in
2.6.1.RC1
My class looks like this:
class cosign($version="3.0.2-2") {...} ## This sets a default, you can omit
past "=" to ")".
My node definition looks a little like this:
node "foo.edu" {
class { cosign: version => "3.1.1-1" } ## This actually sets the overriding
variable.
}
I then use the variable to choose which package version to install.
Hope this helps!
