I am trying to update Puppet itself and the new version is not installing.
It appears that the UpgradeCode between Puppet 3.2.3 and 3.4.2 are
identical {2AD3D11C-61B3-4710-B106-B4FDEC5FA358}. Is this expected or an
oversight? If it is expected, how is the best way to upgrade Puppet with
Puppet?
Manifest snippet:
class puppet::windows() {
package { 'Puppet':
ensure => 'present',
provider => 'windows',
source => '\\share\dir\puppet-3.4.2.msi',
}
}
