I can confirm that this form works:

  yum_package "erlang" do
    version "R14B-03.3.el5"
  end

However, that ties us to a specific version of Erlang, which I'd rather not 
do as a part of the recipe.  I'm sure I could over-ride this from a role, but 
is there a more elegant way to specify that we need something greater than 
version R12B, but without tying us to a specific version & release?
