Puppet users - Mar 2007 - Slight 0.22.2 backward compatibility reporting problem

Hi all,

Turns out there''s a small backward compatibility problem in 0.22.2.   
If you''ve got clients in older versions sending reports to a daemon  
running the newer version, you''ll run into a problem because I  
renamed the Puppet::Metric class to Puppet::Util::Metric.

I''ve committed a fix to svn, but it''s not a big enough problem
to
require a new release.  If you run into this, just edit puppetmasterd  
and add the following line after the "require
''puppet''" line:

Puppet::Metric = Puppet::Util::Metric

That''ll alias the class so when the server receives the
client''s old-
style report it will resolve correctly.

Thanks to Digant for finding this problem and testing the solution.

This seems to be a common issue to a lot of the utility classes.

We''re using the Puppet::LoadedFile class in a function, and that
is now throwing an uninitialized constant error.  I changed it over
to Puppet::Util::LoadedFile for us and we''re fine, but just
something to be aware of.

Here''s a patch that adds a deprecation warning on the server, and
continues to work.

And another one: Puppet::Log

Same fix works:

Puppet::Log = Puppet::Util::Log

I silently fixed this one yesterday.
