Have you seen 'ralsh', or 'puppet resource'[1]? You can use these interactively to interrogate the state of a system, 'puppet resource package foo'. I don't recall if the common Package providers ouput more than 'ensure => absent|present". It's up to your provider (rpm, fbsd, etc) to provide the state information in it's instances method. I imagine many will only test presence, for speed. It should perfectly reasonable to fork and create your own copy of the provider that queries for versions etc. [1] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/tools.html#puppet-resource-or-ralsh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
