## Puppet 2.7.15rc3 Bug Fixes ##

(#14297) Handle upstart services better

    

    The previous changes to the upstart provider didn't take into account services

    that may have upstart jobs in /etc/init with no corresponding symlink to

    upstart-job in /etc/init.d. This fix adds /etc/init/$service.conf to the search

    path in the upstart provider.

    

    In order to allow upstart to use debian as its parent, this commit adds methods

    for enabled?, enable and disable. Without this fix, using a debian style init

    script on ubuntu requires manually specifying the debian provider be used.

    With this commit, the upstart provider can be the default for ubuntu and

    still fail up to its parent, debian.

    

    The enabled?, disable, and enable methods are complicated because upstart has 3

    behaviors to account for. Upstart < 0.6.7 have only the conf file and start on

    stanzas to worry about, 0.6.7 < upstart < 0.9.0 has a manual stanza which

    removes any previous start on declaration, and upstart >= 0.9.0 has an override

    file. In upstart >= 0.9.0, the provider does all of its work using override files

    to leave the upstart conf file for the service intact and unchanged.

    

    Because of the need to know which upstart version is being used, this commit

    also adds a method and a class variable to hold and access the upstart version,

    obtained by a call to `initctl --version`.

(#14343) Lookup in correct inherited scope

    

    The previous twoscope lookup of the inheritied scope tried to find the

    inherited scope by looking up the class_scope() directly. Unfortunately,

    this does not work correctly in cases where the inherited scope is

    qualified to the topscope (::parent) or where the scope is implicitly

    qualified (class a { class b {} class c inherits b {} }).

    

    By using the same mechanism that variables use for looking up scope (the

    qualified_scope() method) variable lookup will find a scope consistent

    with what qualified variable lookups will find.

This release includes contributions from Matthaus Litteken and Andrew Parker
