I've been doing like this. (Don't know if it is the better ways.. but.. :))
if ($operatingsystemrelease >= 4) and ($operatingsystemrelease < 5) {
$release = "el4"
}
else {
if ($operatingsystemrelease >= 5) and ($operatingsystemrelease < 6) {
$release = "el5"
}
}
package { abc: ensure => "0.25.5-1.${release}" }
PS.: I am running puppet 0.25.x in 2.6 I believe there is a elsif or
something like that...
