Puppet 4 open source EOL

[Nick Bertrand]

Hi all,

I've found a few mentions that Puppet 4, specifically Puppet Collection 1, reaches end-of-life October 2018. Does this mean that http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/7/PC1/, for example, will no longer get security or other fixes backported after October 2018?

Thanks,

Nick Bertrand

That's correct. At this point we have no more scheduled PC1 releases, and would only do one for a security issue. In October we will stop releasing it entirely.

The new PE LTS release is based on puppet-agent 5.5.z, so that release will be receiving fixes until May of 2020. We are also planning to have Puppet 6 available in the fall.

Would you mind terribly doing one last PC1 release for Bionic, and thus save my sanity until I get moved to puppet 5.x?

:)

deploying Ubuntu 18.04 in my environment is currently a mess due to lack of official PC1 packages, and now that mcollective has been deprecated, my migration path to puppet 5.x is more complicated.

If PC1 is EOL  where is PC2?

[Molly Waggett]

After PC1, we changed how we name our collections to align with the version of puppet included in them.

puppet5 is the collection that would've been PC2, which we shipped a year ago.

puppet6 is the latest collection, which we shipped last week.
