** Next PR Triage Wednesday, September 17th @ 10:00 am Pacific. **

Priorities


  1. Puppet 3.7.1
  2. CFacter on the march
  3. New puppet doc implementation
  4. Code removal for puppet 4

Commentary

Sorry about being late on this, still getting back into the swing of things after vacation.

Puppet 3.7.0 is out! So far this release is not looking too shabby. We are working on a 3.7.1 release right now to fix a few of the issues that showed up. The most embarrassing one was that we broke the iterative functions for the future parser when puppet is installed from packages (PUP-3190).

I'm targeting 3.7.1 for this week (probably Thursday).

CFacter is still continuing to its next release. Right now it is getting some Solaris and Windows support, and some more cleanup to add static checks and other tooling to make it a more stable base to be working on.

Hailee is continuing to dig into puppet-strings by adding test cases around its functionality. Once there is some coverage there we'll be giving it a similar treatment as CFacter by setting up Jenkins jobs, getting some static analysis in place and generally laying a groundwork for moving it along in a stable fashion. I'm targeting October 1st for the 0.1.0 release.

Data

Since we are away from any large releases at the moment, let's take a look at some different data.

It takes us, on average, about 1 week from the time we start working on something to the time it is finished up (not released). However, that is skewed quite a bit by some outliers. The median is only 3 days. Not too bad.

Update on the status of 3.7.1. We were aiming for Thursday (yesterday), but as you may have noticed that didn't happen. We had a few problems crop up in tests (windows issues and something else that I can't recall right now). Since we don't like releasing on Friday it looks like 3.7.1 will be happening on Monday September 15th.
