Hi.
I''ve been using this definition to install backup-3-1.i686.rpm:
package { backup:
ensure => installed,
provider => rpm,
source => "http://example.com/backup-3-1.i686.rpm"
}
Now I''ve upgraded to version 3.2. How can I make sure that the clients
upgrade to 3.2? Simply replacing the source with "http://example.com/
backup-3-2.i686.rpm" doesn''t seem to work.
I figured the "ensure => installed" might be the problem, but as
far
as I know provider RPM does not support versioning.
So how do I ensure that the client install version 3.2?
Regards,
Kenneth Holter

I tried "ensure => ''3-2'' " but got: "Provider must have features ''versionable'' to set ''ensure'' to ''(?-mix:.)'' ". When running "ensure => latest" I get an error message saying that "Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Coult not get latest version". Might this be bacause I''m using the "source" attribute with the "provider" set to RPM? I mean, had the package been installed from the regular repository it might have been different.

The RPM provider does not support versions. It does support just calling latest though. That should allso make it a little easier to run updates.

If it''s not, then that''s a bug, but.... This has worked for a long time, AFAIK. Maybe people just don''t really use it, and that''s why it seems to work for everyone, but I''m kinda skeptical of that. -- Sabbagh''s Second Law: The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
