Hi, David Thanks for your reply. I have been more clear about the compiling of puppet. Do you have any good method to get the package version after installing if with Package resource? I need the version to configure the my.cnf file.
I know a method to get the version of packages that already installed, which are as follows. Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(:get_pkg_version, :type => :rvalue) do |args| pkg_name = args[0] pkg = Puppet::Type.type(:package).new(:name => pkg_name) version = pkg.retrieve[pkg.property(:ensure)].to_s version.split(/-|\+/).at 0 end But is there any function of Package type that can get the latest version in the software repository (e.g. yum or zypper)? So that I can get the version of a package which will be installed and configure its conf file. Really looking forward for your answer!
