> Puppet doesn't have a way to do that. The way the package type & providers are setup they will always compare literal strings. Typically how people have handled this is by ensuring 'latest', but managing the repository that the machine will pull the packages from so that it will only ever contain something in the 1.2.3 series. -- Jacob Helwig http://about.me/jhelwig
