Facter 1.6.12 Highlights
=====================(#15464) Make contributing easy via bundle Gemfile
Without this patch the process of figuring out how to quickly set up a
development and testing environment for the Puppet _application_ (not a
gem library) is unnecessarily complicated.
This patch addresses the problem by providing a Bundler compatible
Gemfile that specifies all of the Gem dependencies for the Puppet 2.7
application.
Puppet contributors can now easily get a working development and testing
environment using this sequence of commands:
$ git clone --branch 2.7.x git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet.git
$ cd puppet/
$ bundle install # Install all required dependencies
$ rspec
The .noexec.yaml file excludes the `rake` command so that the Gemfile
doesn''t raise an exception if the `rubygems-bundler` Gem is
installed
and automatically running `bundle exec` for us.
The Gemfile.lock contains the exact dependency versions. This file is
included in the version control system because we''re treating
Puppet as
an application rather than a library.
Shift to using packaging repo for packaging tasks
This release introduces Facter''s use of the packaging repo at
https://github.com/puppetlabs/packaging for packaging automation. From
source, doing a rake package:bootstrap clones packaging tasks into
ext/packaging and adds rake tasks for packaging of tar, gem, srpm,
rpm, and deb using tools such as rpmbuild and debuild, as well as
puppetlabs-namespaced tasks that use chroot environment tools and are
keyed to specifically interacting with the puppetlabs environment. The
packaging repo works in tandem with the new package-builder modules
designed to set up hosts for packaging,
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-rpmbuilder, and
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-debbuilder. This is very much
a work in progress, but a model for how packaging automation could
improve across many Puppet Labs projects.
(#11640) Added support for new OpenStack MAC addresses
OpenStack changed the MAC address prefix they use to address an
issues with libvirt
OpenStack bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/921838
(#10819) Avoid reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby
Reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby can cause hangs in certain
versions of
the Linux kernel. The problem appears when a puppet agent is run
with --listen,
which hold open a socket, and then ruby reads from
/proc/self/mounts. When this
occurs ruby calls select on the open filehandles which triggers a bug in the
kernel that causes the select to hang forever.
This commit uses an exec of cat instead of ruby file reading
operations, which
avoids the ruby interpreter having to call select and trigger the bug.
It appears that only /proc/self/mounts has this problem. Other
areas of /proc
were tested and did not cause the error.
