Hello,

I am trying to find out how to manage versions for installed software.

It seems that the 'package' plugin does not take a version argument, 
rendering it quite less useful than it could be. Yes, I can manage a 
version with Puppet, but maybe in certain environments I would like to be 
able to manage the version of the installed software from mc.

So what I would like to do is:

mco package install myapp 1.1.2 -C myapp -F environment=development 

Obviously this is not possible now because package does not take versions 
as an argument.

I have tried the 'packages' plug-in that claims to manage several packages 
and takes versions but, it plainly does not work (they say they tested it 
with EL6, I use EL5).

I control the version of packages with puppet/hiera currently. This is a 
good solution, but I am looking to let puppet do all the work up to the 
last bit, where the application version can be changed the same way as you 
would o yum install package-*version*. I am not looking for how to do this 
with yum or puppet, but with mcollective.


So, what do you guys and girls do to manage package versions for your 
environments with mcollective?

Many thanks in advance.
