versioncmp.rb example

[samra...@aim.com]

I looked at versioncmp example available out of box.

It is like strcmp.

I have a need to write a manifest to check for the existence of java version. If it is 1.5.0.3 or less, upgrade to 1.7.1. This should be done on 10 nodes.

Appreciate any example to accomplish this task. thanks

Create a custom fact for the java version installed. There are some
suggestions here

then you do something like the following:

$new_version = versioncmp($::java_version, '1.5.0.3') ? {
1 => '1.7.1',
default => $::java_version
}

package { 'jdk':
ensure => $new_version
}

note that this is not tested ;)
