Hello,

The second half of
https://puppet.com/blog/full-visibility-and-control-of-your-infrastructure-new-puppet-releases
talks about prep for Puppet 5 and new nightly packages on
{apt,yum}.puppet.com. I have a few questions about these:

1. Are these builds of the master branch(es)?

2. Do these obsolete or complement nightlies.puppetlabs.com? Should I be
testing both, or only follow puppet5-nightly now?

3. puppet-agent on nightlies.pl.com was last updated on 3rd May and is
version puppet-agent-1.10.0.372.ge749206, while puppet5-nightly has
puppet-agent-4.99.0. Is nightlies delayed at the moment, or will it no
longer be updated?

Cheers,

nightlies has generally been builds from both our master and stable branches. I'll try to get someone more engaged with this to respond, because this may be changing. Following "latest" currently seems a little frustrating.

Nightlies was delayed while handling a CVE release of puppet-agent. A new nightly build was shipped shortly after your e-mail.

Puppet5-nightly does obsolete nightlies.puppetlabs.com, but we have no current plan in place to remove the infrastructure that ships to nightlies.puppetlabs.com. You should still be seeing updates there, but I would suggest you only puppet5-nightly for development builds. We will eventually stop updating nightlies.puppetlabs.com, but we will put out more communication before that happens. Puppet5-nightly is a better source for testing moving forward.

3. puppet-agent on nightlies.pl.com was last updated on 3rd May and is

I checked yesterday this does not appear to have mcollective master. Guessing that'll come?

Thanks Melissa and Michael, I'll switch to testing puppet5-nightly now then.
