-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Welcome back to the Puppet release cycle for the second outing of
0.25.5 - release candidate number 2.

The 0.25.5 release is a maintenance release in the
0.25.x branch. It contains a number of bug fixes but also
performance enhancements including speed-ups to Puppet''s graphing.

The release candidate is available at:

http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.25.5rc2.tar.gz

Please note that all final releases of Puppet are signed with the
Reductive Labs key (we''ll issue a new, improved Puppet Labs key
after the Rowlf release).

See the Verifying Puppet Download section at
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet

Please test this release candidate and report feedback via the
Puppet Labs Redmine site:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com

Please select an affected version of 0.25.5rc2.

RELEASE NOTES

The default location for Puppet''s dynamic files, the $vardir option,
has changed from /var/puppet to /var/lib/puppet. This is already the
default for the Fedora EPEL and Debian/Ubuntu packages and brings
Puppet into FHS compliance.

You can now specify checksum => none in the file type to disable
file check-summing.

The default factpath is now $vardir/lib/facter/.

The generate function now sets the working directory to the
directory containing the specified command.

The "warning: Value of ''preferred_serialization_format''
(''pson'') is
invalid, using default (''yaml'')" is now a debug level
message.

Does this mean a default for /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/ instead 
of /var/lib/puppet/facter/?  Seems a bit weird, doesn''t it?

Cheers.

This change puts the plugins stuff more in line with modules etc.
Additionally, for example other plugins for puppet go then imho into
/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet

So imho it''s a much cleaner way to organize the different plugins.

Peter is quite correct.  This is designed to bring the default in
line with the PluginsInModules model.  We''ve retained the old
setting in the factpath option to ensure continuity also.

For thoae using Fedora or RHEL/CentOS, I''ve updated the yum repos at:

    http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/ 

Packages for EL-4, EL-5 and Fedora 11 - 13 are available for testing.
Add the puppet.repo file from either the epel or fedora directories to
/etc/yum.repos.d to enable.

And now there are packages for EL-6 as well, for anyone running the
RHEL6 beta.  (Might as well test one more piece of software while
you''re at it. ;)
