ANNOUNCE: Puppet 2.6.6 available!

[Jacob Helwig]

This maintenance release fixes two issues with Puppet 2.6.5.

Bug #6418: Files with the "source" parameter set are automatically set to audit

The audit functionality was activated unexpectedly on file resources
that use the "source" parameter. This could cause spurrious notify
events. These notifications could trigger unintended refreshes of
subscribed resources.

Bug #6541: File type truncates target when filebucket can not retrieve hash

In the case where a file resource had content specified using an
invalid checksum (Eg: "{md5}not-a-checksum") or the valid checksum of
a file not contained in the filebucket, the file would end up being
truncated. This is now properly reported as an error, instead of
zeroing out the file.

This release is available for download at:
http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-2.6.6.tar.gz

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet

Keep up the great work! Puppet has become one of the most important components to a modern infrastructure!

For those using Fedora or RHEL/CentOS, I've updated the yum repos at:

http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/

Packages for EL 4 - 6 and Fedora 13 - 15 are available for testing.
Add the puppet.repo file from either the epel or fedora directories to
/etc/yum.repos.d to enable.

If you find problems with the packaging, please let me know. If you
find other bugs, please file them in redmine:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues

I plan to get these packages built for Fedora and EPEL 5/6 testing
repositories in the next few days. Anyone who finds showstopper bugs
before then will be my hero for the day.

(Thomas, you beat me. That'll teach me to drink on the beach at
sunset, damn it. ;)

Enterprise Linux 5 RPM's have been posted to the Puppet Labs prosvc
repository as well. This is available via rsync if you're keeping a
local mirror. I recommend not using --delete to preserve previous
versions in your local yum repository if you'd like to roll back.

As is the usual case, this repository is not officially supported by
Puppet Labs and is provided as a convenience to the community. The
repository is designed to contain all dependencies for Puppet without
the need to configure the full EPEL repository. Packages may be added
or removed at any time, so a local mirror is highly encouraged.

Cheers,

Thomas,

Curious. Which pacman provider do you recommend?

The Arch package comes with a pacman provider, you can take a look at it here:

https://github.com/thatch45/archpkgs/blob/master/puppet/pacman.rb

I have had no problems with this provider, but it does not have tests and could probably be better written.

I imagine that someone could whip something better up (I spend most of my time in python) or at least throw together some tests and get this provider included in puppet.

I intend to write the needed tests for this provider, but it is low on my list, and I have been very busy.

As for testing the provider in the real world, I have it running on hundreds of servers, and have not had problems.

If anyone is interested in whipping up some ruby tests for the provider I would greatly appreciate it, I am seeing a dramatic increase in Arch Linux use of puppet, and there are a few areas where Arch Linux support could be improved, and if puppet labs is interested in furthering Arch Linux support I will file the bugs and assist with the improvements as best as I can.

We're absolutely interested in furthering Arch support.

Who else is going to shake out the Ruby 1.9 bugs for us ? :)

Seriously, if the main thing stopping us getting a good pacman
provider as part of the core is lack of tests, we can work something
out.

[Thomas S Hatch]

Thanks Nigel, I will get those bugs filed!
I still need to hammer on the ruby 1.9 bugs, but we got some taken care of a few days ago.

Puppet 2.6.6 packages are now in Fedora and EPEL testing repositories.
Anyone testing these packages is encouraged to leave feedback in the
update tool via:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/puppet

If you have a Fedora account, you can give the update positive or
negative karma. More positive feedback will help get the update into
the stable repositories faster.

Hi, Todd

I am not familiar with yum. Would you mind provide a simple
instruction to enable yum to install your test package ?

[root@puppet yum.repos.d]# yum install puppet-2.6.6.1
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package puppet-2.6.6.1 available.

You must enable the updates-testing repo on Fedora (or epel-testing on
RHEL/CentOS).

yum --enablerepo updates-testing install puppet

Thanks for the tip.

"--enablerepo updates-testing" is what I missed.
