Yep, best to follow the ticket, that has the latest news and follow puppet-dev for a little bit of discussion: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4258 It's feeling pretty solid at the moment in my experience. > At present, one is not able to ensure that a particular version is > installed and this is crucial for a job that I need to do.

Nobody has been looking at it, it would be great if you and Mark want to and I'd be happy to help. I haven't even seen any examples of pkgutil catalogs with multiple versions, so it'd be good to check it copes properly in its current form too. (Unit tests!) I think it's best to first collect some evidence about the output format of pkgutil with multiple versions and what's possible compared to say yum, then work out how to integrate that into the provider. -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Consulting m: +44 (0)7818 512168 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
