Improvement version support for gem packages

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hello,

I've recently tried to use the following syntax for a gem resource:

package { 'hiera-eyaml-gpg':
  ensure   => '>= 0.5.pre1'
  provider => 'gem',
}

It does work, but is not idempotent, since it cannot compare ">= 0.5.pre1" with the installed version "0.5.pre1".

The following code fixes it: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/3694

Since this is mainly a bugfix of a half-supported feature, do you think this could be released in Puppet 4?

Cheers,

Raphaël

+1 for this. Is there a bug to go vote for?

Thanks,

Trevor
