I just use "ensure => present" I manage versions with yum (Red Hat Enterprise 5) But puppet does manage my yum repository configuration.

Hello, I got many classes, using the well known template ... package ensure => XXX notify => service file require => package notify => service service require => File, Package ... with ensure value XXX set to 'latest'. This implies that package could be updated when I change a value in config file even if I don't want to update it ... especially in production ... A solution can be changing all ensure value to 'present' or 'installed' but I'm not the owner of the code so I would like to know if there is a way to - deactivate the package update through a command line option ? - change the ensure value using - a command line option - a fact - a tag - ??? More generally, what's the best practice to manage software updates using puppet : - ensure => present - fix pkg repositories :/ - ???
