{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Allow version targeting and auto-upgrading","articleBody":"Currently, the `package` is only installed once. If new versions are present, they are not installed. There is also no way to force an upgrade with this module.\n\nIt should be possible to pass through the `ensure` setting as specified in the [Puppet Documentation](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package-attribute-ensure).\n\nThis will allow a specific version like `7u55-0~webupd8~1` (see http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8_java/precise/main/base/oracle-java7-installer for a list of versions).\n### Example Usage\n\n```\nclass { 'java7':\n   ensure =\u003e '7u55-0~webupd8~1',\n}\n```\n\nThe default should be `installed` to maintain backwards compatibility. It is also not desirable to auto-update java as there can often be breaking changes.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/smerchek","@type":"Person","name":"smerchek"},"datePublished":"2014-06-04T17:34:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/7/puppet-java7/issues/7"}
