Can't you pass the version in the > package declaration? ----- getting the version isn't exactly the problem and yes, the version is in the package installation set - which I plan to revisit later because it seems that when it comes to gem packages, 'ensure => latest' didn't seem to work but I didn't want to waste time on that.
My issues seem to be... 1. I want to require => /etc/puppet/modules/custom/lib/facter/$SOME_CUSTOM_FACT is actually executed and the fact is established before a particular package is installed/configured. I can't seem to find the proper syntax for requiring that fact first - before the attempted installation. 2. It seems that the custom/lib/facter directory is a bit squirrelly in that it gags on the automatic backup files created by emacs (FILENAME.rb~) and if I create a resource that depends upon a fact, the resource installation fails and the fact is never established when I was sort of expecting facter to run at the outset of any agent activity.
