Puppet users - Oct 2009 - ANNOUNCE: Puppet 0.25.1rc2 available

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

Puppet 0.25.1 Release Candidate 2 is now available for testing.

This is the second release candidate for 0.25.1.  The 0.25.1 release
is a maintenance release in the 0.25.x branch.

The release candidate is available at:

http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.25.1rc2.tar.gz
http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/gems/puppet-0.25.1rc2.gem

Please test the release and report feedback via the Reductive Labs
Redmine site:

http://projects.reductivelabs.com

Please select an affected version of 0.25.1rc2.

RELEASE NOTES

* We''ve clarified that the new ''require'' function
only works for
0.25.x clients.  If the function is specified with 0.24.x or earlier
clients the class will be included but the inherent dependency will
not be created.  A warning message will be generated informing you
of this.

* Node regular expression matching rules have been clarified - see
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#matching-nodes-with-regular-expressions.

* The Nagios serviceescalation type now supports the use of the
servicegroup_name attribute.

* The Puppet gem now installs all binaries to the ''bin''
directory
because Gems lack support for both a ''bin'' and
''sbin'' directory.
Facter (version later than 1.5.1) is now also a dependency for the gem.

What''s the process for fixes to the redhat spec file?

It seems it''s again not including the ''pi'' binary, I
do recall it used to be there at some point.

For the spec file shipped in the puppet git repo it''s the same as any
other bug.  Of course, the files in my repo are updated from what''s in
the puppet git repo for 0.25.1rc1 and rc2.  I''ll update that spec file
and do my best to ensure that it gets synced to the puppet git repo
for 0.25.1 as well as to the official Fedora/EPEL packages.

Yeah, I''m not sure why it was being excluded to be honest.  If anyone
(::cough::lutter) recalls whether there''s still a good reason to
exclude it, please speak up.

Thanks for pointing this out.
