open source puppet-agent for ppc64le / power9 on rhel 8

[Mark Dixon]

Hi all,

Just been looking at yum.puppetlabs.com for a copy of the puppet agent for the ppc64le architecture on rhel8 and couldn't find one. I can see a rhel7 version of puppet6 (but not puppet7) and nothing at all for rhel8.

Has open source puppet dropped support for IBM POWER9 clients, please?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

We build for the Power architecture based on demand.  Since Puppet6 will be will be supported for quite a while longer we didn't build Puppet7 on Power and we can assess demand for Puppet 7 on Power.  

If you can reply to me with specifics of your environment I'm happy to discuss further with you.  

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

That's great news, for a moment there I was worried :)

It's a new deployment so I'm fairly relaxed about puppet 6 vs. 7, but specifically I'm feeling the lack of any version at all for rhel8.

Best wishes,

Mark

That's a weird thing with the top level /el/ directory. We definitely build EL 8 builds internally and externally they're under /puppet/, http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet/el/8/ .

If that doesn't work with the documented repo release packages let us know as it'd be a bug.

Hi Justin,

There was some implicit context from the original message that I should have repeated: I am interested in packages for any puppet on el8 for the ppc64le architecture.

I can see el8 x86_64 and aarch64 directories in the following locations, but no ppc64le:

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet/el/8/

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet6/el/8/

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet7/el/8/

Best,

Mark
