Allow specific version of puppet to be installed when using puppet-collections about kitchen-puppet HOT 5 CLOSED

current i just support install from a repo and allow you to specify the url of the repo. I believe that you
i can see that there are multiple versions at:
https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/
but i have never supported install from here in puppet v3.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. When I choose require_puppet_collections: true it uses the PC1 repo. For example, with CentOS 6, it uses http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/PC1/x86_64/. The code here installs the package puppet.

This actually installs the package puppet-agent at the latest version. I propose we instead install puppet-agent (that is the naming scheme that is used now from these PC repos) at a specific version. Something like:
#{sudo_env('yum')} -y install puppet-agent#{puppet_version}

That would make it similar to how you allow specific puppet versions installed when < 4.

another possibility is there are some good puppet install scripts at:
https://github.com/petems/puppet-install-shell
that i could easily link to to allow a version to be specified.

I'll submit a pull request so it's more obvious what I'm asking.

I went ahead and submitted #107. In response to your last statement, I could see all this logic being replaced with one of those scripts that you mentioned. That would be nice.
