In an effort to reduce duplication and confusion in the packages we provide, we will no longer be providing packages for Debian Testing or Debian Stable. We want to ensure we deliver tested and reliable packages, which includes deliberately adding new platforms that have been vetted. This change is part of an effort to ensure that is always the case with the packages we make available.


Stable and Testing packages will be removed from our apt repository on Wednesday, September 9th.

For clarity, this is only referring to packages built under the stable and testing name spaces. We will continue to support and ship packages associated with current supported Debian codenames (i.e. Debian Wheezy and Debian Jessie).

To clarify, because this has confused other people too: does this mean that you won’t be able to run Puppet from an official package on Debian Stable?

Or is there another repo that can be added, that’s just not specific to Debian Testing/Stable?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi, 

is it possible that the packages for Debian Jessie are still not available on the repository?


I'm trying to install puppet on some new installed servers, and I couldn't find the packages related to Debian Jessie.

Regards,
Ximena.
