Puppet 0.24.7RC2 released!

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

Hi all

We''re back with the second release candidate for the 0.24.7 release -
the last of the 0.24.x branch and codenamed Gonzo.

There are a lot of new features and fixes in this release and we''d
welcome whatever testing you are able to perform.

You can download it here:

http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.24.7rc2.tgz

The MD5 hash for the file is here:

http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.24.7rc2.tgz.md5

Big tickets items in the release are:

* Manifest documentation

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetManifestDocumentation

This new functionality creates documentation from marked up manifests
and modules and will make documenting your modules and configuration a
piece of cake.  Since we know how much we all love writing documentation
I think a lot of people are going to find this a great feature.

* The inline template function

* Multiline comments

* An augeas type

* Performance enhancements for the SELinux types/support

* A bunch of new OSX and Solaris types and providers including ZFS and ZPool

* Support for Nagios 3.0 types and some enhancements to make the types
easier to use and more compliant with Nagios configuration.

You can see the full CHANGELOG here:

I have to say, I am impressed at this release (and the previous one!),
you all are really getting this process down and the things that are
included in this release are exciting!

I really appreciated the highlighted ''big ticket items'', this
was nice
to be able to have a much better idea of what these things are, with
references to documentation no less!

The less ''big ticket'' items are still quite interesting to me,
but I had
to dig a little to find out what they were:
> * The inline template function
This is http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1741 which allows
us to now do: inline_template("this contains <%= some %> templating
stuff"), cool!
> * Multiline comments
What is this? The full changelog below just says:>     Added multiline comment supportNo tickets or anything referenced.
> * An augeas type
Also cool, but I''ve got no clue how it can be used. Any hints on this?
Maybe there will be auto-generated documentation somewhere that details
it?

The full changelog lower just says:>     Added augeas type
No ticket references, or anything.

Again thanks folks! Great job on this.

Thanks - it''s still only a candidate though and we need people to be
testing!

Sorry - that should have had:

http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1402
>> * An augeas type

The doco would have been auto-genned when the release happened and added
 to the type reference.  In the meantime from the @doc block in the type:

    @doc = "Apply the changes (single or array of changes) to the
filesystem via the augeas tool.

         Requires:
           - augeas to be installed (http://www.augeas.net)
           - ruby-augeas bindings

         Sample usage with a string:
            augeas{\"test1\" :
                   context => \"/files/etc/sysconfig/firstboot\",
                   changes => \"set RUN_FIRSTBOOT YES\",
                   onlyif  => \"match other_value size > 0\",
             }

         Sample usage with an array and custom lenses:
            augeas{\"jboss_conf\":
                context => \"/files\",
                changes => [
                    \"set /etc/jbossas/jbossas.conf/JBOSS_IP
$ipaddress\",
                    \"set /etc/jbossas/jbossas.conf/JAVA_HOME /usr\"
                ],
                load_path => \"$/usr/share/jbossas/lenses\",
            }
         "

Thanks for the feedback.

James

I assume it is this one:
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=ace.git;a=tree;f=modules/augeas
From:
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/1ed0cd556f95df5f/88eb018360054c95#88eb018360054c95

I assume that if .7 is released wiki:TypeReference is updated as well.
(People got confused in the past about not yet published feature in the
docu)

cheers pete
