Puppet / PUP-6237 PMT should gracefully fall back to older, compatible versions of modules Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: PMT Created: 2016/04/26 4:29 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Eric Sorenson I coulda sworn there was a ticket to this effect but I've been searching for 20 mins to no avail, so I'll just file a new one. Currently when you want to puppet module install a module which expresses compatibility with a newer Puppet version than yours, you get an error and a hard failure. Instead, the module should select the latest version of the module which is compatible with your version of Puppet and install that. This would make it much easier for module authors to maintain independent major-versions of their modules to match capabilities available in different versions of Puppet, while providing a nice user experience.

Re: PMT should gracefully fall back to older, compatible versions of modules This makes sense, but hasn't been worked on in many years and is unlikely to be worked on anytime soon. Please reopen if this is still a concern.
