On this page [1] it says that using Package with yum as a backend is
"versionable", i.e. "The provider is capable of interrogating the
package database for installed version(s), and can select which out of a
set of available versions of a package to install if asked."
The data (the version number) is clearly there, I just need a way of
getting at it!
Cheers,
Jonathan

am just curious as to why do you think that would be possible? Did you
use some other "puppet type" to similarly obtain information? like get
the size of a file, using File type?
Thanks,

Hi all,
Is there a way to use the Package type to find the version number of an
installed RPM?
I've consulted this page [1] and I can't see any documentation there
that says this might be possible.
I want to simply query my package manager and ask which version of a
package is installed. I do not necessarily wish to ensure it is
upgraded, etc.
I know it's possible to do this with an exec call to rpm or yum, but I
want to do it "properly" :)

Define "properly" :-) What is puppet supposed to do with this piece of
information? Log it somewhere?
I want to place the version number in a variable, where it will be used to
do some post-install config that depends on the version number :)
By "properly" I meant to avoid exec calls unless as a last resort.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Felix
