Package: puppet Version: 0.24.6-1 Severity: wishlist I'd like to be able to specify something like: package { "openoffice.org": ensure => "etch-backports"; }
This would call: apt-get install openoffice.org/etch-backports or apt-get install -t etch-backports openoffice.org instead of: apt-get install openoffice.org=etch-backports Can puppet check if the ensure parameter starts with a digit and decide accordingly?
