Firstly thanks to all of you who have chipped in on this thread. Largely it has confirmed what I already thought. Mike has explained the problem well we have very similar set ups and requirements.
When we started on the puppet project 6 months ago there were two of us -- my partner was familiar with packaging systems and yum repositories so we decided to go with RHE. He has now been moved out of technical stuff altogether and I have been left struggling to keep things moving forward. Hence the scramble.

How about adding a check option to package which allows one to specify a file to be checked. Another option for packages that have version files would be to have a version option that took a File and perhaps an RE that would extract the version into something that can be compared... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
