Hey all,

Are there any patterns or recommendations on uninstalling or downgrading a puppet module (read as software) on a node?

An example would be that we're running with =>latest or a specific version of rpms and have decided that there is a bug or problem with the software and that we we want to go to a previous version. Obviously rpm supports a downgrade but that's not really reliable and kind of hurts the brain. I was hoping that somebody as solved this with a burn-down type module that can bring a box down (while it's being downgraded) and then re-install/configure to the correct version.

The trick to this burn-down is can you support a way of only doing a partial burn-down (of just a module) so as not to disturb data, or would it have to be the whole box? I'm thinking exported resources could help here but I can't quite see how.

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
