Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Prevent previous version remove upon RPM package install latest

Hello all,

I''m installing/upgrading JDK using this manifest:

    package { ''jdk'':
      ensure    => ''latest'',
      source    =>
file(''packages/files/jdk-7u15-linux-x64.rpm''),
      provider  => ''rpm'',
    }

This package installs JDK to /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_15 dir and redirects 
/usr/java/default and /usr/java/latest links to this new version. This is 
OK.

The problem is that this install deletes files from the previous version 
dir /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_11

What I can do for puppet to run RPM package install (particularly for JDK) 
without removing/uninstall previous version(s)?


Best regards,
Viktor

Build your own packages from the tarballs available from the Oracle site.
Oracle''s packages don''t allow multiple versions to be
installed at once.
