Core Modules with Puppet pre6?

[Martin Alfke]

Hi,

has anyone tried what will happen if we place the Puppet 6 core modules in a Puppetfile when still having a Puppet 5.x agent?

Will the agent still use the built-in types/providers?

e.g.

Puppetfile:

mod 'puppetlabs/mount_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/augeas_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/zfs_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/yumrepo_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/host_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/selinux_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/zone_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/cron_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/sshkeys_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/nagios_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/mailalias_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/macdslocal_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/maillist_core', :latest

mod 'puppetlabs/k5login_core', :latest

Many thanks,

Martin

I would expect puppetserver6 to use the core modules during
compilation, while all agents should pluginsync the core modules and
use their type/providers during catalog application, taking precedent
over the versions in the puppet-agent 5.x package. This is one of the
reasons we had to make the yumrepo_core module retain compatiblility
with 5.x agents:
