Misleading Documentation in init.pp

[bmurtagh]

I just ran into an issue and wanted to get this posted for discussion:

I was trying to configure the module to install the latest version of Jenkins CI from their Ubuntu/Debian repo. The Jenkins CI repo is configured correctly.

Looking at the init.pp I was under the impression that keeping the default value of $lts and $repo, the module would pull the most recent version available.

This is not the case and I believe it is as a result of the default value for $version in init.pp and package.

When my Puppet run was triggered, the check for Jenkins being installed was successful and no further action was taken. I had to set $version = latest, in order for Jenkins to be automatically upgraded to the available version.

My initial thoughts are:

1. $version in init.pp should be set to undef
2. The documentation needs to be updated to properly educate the user and provide the available options
3. Provide a basic example

Can this be closed now?

Yes, the documentation is more explicit. Thank you
