Backports for puppet with Ubuntu 14.04

[Eric Speake]

I am not able to update my current puppet master at this exact time and I need to see if I can backport puppet 3.1.1 to ubuntu 14.04.  I have looked at the backports but I am not finding any puppet backports at all for 14.04.


Thank you,
Eric

Or my other thought, can I ensure the kernel version through puppet?  That would solve some issue as well.

You can run 'apt-cache policy puppet' on your trusty nodes. If you have the puppetlabs apt repo enabled you should see many old versions available.

As a last resort, you could install from ruby gems.

As for kernel versioning, if you can express that in a package name you can do it in puppet. Of course kernels are a bit wonky, so you would probably need to enforce a reboot to make sure your change is live on the system. I'm not aware of a good way for puppet to manage rolling reboots through a set of systems, that sounds more like an orchestration task.

Spencer,

Thanks for the info.  I can get the kernel versions from my facter information, I do think it will be easier to upgrade those my self.

Thanks,
Again.
