Puppet / PUP-9131 Update puppet daemon.rb on windows to work without Win32 gems Change By: Sean McDonald Currently, the ruby process we use to make a service for puppet ([daemon.rb|[https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/ext/windows/service/daemon.rb] ) ]   ) makes use of Win32 gems to create a windows service.   These gems are pretty out-of-date, and we should update puppet to work directly with FFI and the windows API to create the service.

Re: Update puppet daemon.rb on windows to work without Win32 gems Mihai Buzgau This can probably be closed as a dup of other win32 removal?

Re: Update puppet daemon.rb on windows to work without Win32 gems

The last win32 gem dependency was removed in PUP-6184, so closing this as a duplicate.
