Description
I'd like to audit if a package is installed.
I want to query the package manager to find out if package X version Y is installed.
I do NOT want to install it, I just want to check.
I would use this to gather information about the system (classify it).
Perhaps a packageexists() function?
examples:
check if JDK is installed:
{{{
classes:
"have_jdk"
expression => packageexists("jdk");
}}}
Check if JDK-1.7.0_60 is installed:
{{
{ classes: "have_jdk_7u60" expression => packageexists("jdk-1.7.0_60"); }}}
