CFEngine 3.6.6 released

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

Hello,

today we are announcing the release of CFEngine 3.6.6, bringing mostly
stability fixes in our maintainance branch. For more details on the
changes, especially for the Enterprise product, read our blog post:

You can get the source code and binaries from the links that follow.
Please remember that the Masterfiles tarball now installs in the usual
UNIX way, for example to install in "/path/to/masterfiles", run:

./configure --prefix=/path/to && make install

Furthermore, if you are installing from our RPM or APT repositories, make
sure you import our new GPG key from [1]. Detailed instructions are at [2].

Congratulations from me, too.

One question: I read, with much surprise, that Debian 8 "jessie" is not
officially supported. Is it in 3.7? If there are plans for a 3.6.7, will
it be officially supported by then?

Ciao

I can't give an answer to your question about official support. But I
can tell you that some systemd-related issues made it in the release
specifically to fix issues on Jessie. So I'm trusting that it works
fine, until you prove me wrong. ;-)

NOTE: For anyone having trouble unpacking the source tarballs - most
likely Solaris users - we have uploaded almost identical tarballs, the
only difference is that they are packed with newer version of GNU tar.

Yes, Debian 8 is supported in 3.7.

For a list of supported platforms, have a look at the supported platform
pages, they are also linked from the release blog posts:


* 3.7:
https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.7/guide-latest-release-supported-platforms.html

* 3.6:
https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.6/guide-latest-release-supported-platforms.html


There are no plans to add Debian 8 support to 3.6 (it's a maintenance
branch), so I suggest you upgrade if you need it.
