Hi,
What I do is a little different for zmanda.
I have a fact that looks for a local release file that contains the version
number installed. If that file doesn't exist then it returns 0.0.0.
The version file is created after the successful install.
I thought the gem provider was anyway? Can't you pass the version in the
package declaration?
Cheers,
Den
