Puppet users - Mar 2011 - ANNOUNCE: Puppet 2.6.6 - Release Candidate 1 available!

This maintenance release fixes two issues with Puppet 2.6.5.

Bug #6418: Files with the "source" parameter set are automatically set
to audit

  The audit functionality was activated unexpectedly on file resources
  that use the "source" parameter. This could cause spurrious notify
  events. These notifications could trigger unintended refreshes of
  subscribed resources.

Bug #6541: File type truncates target when filebucket can not retrieve hash

  In the case where a file resource had content specified using an
  invalid checksum (Eg: "{md5}not-a-checksum") or the valid checksum
of
  a file not contained in the filebucket, the file would end up being
  truncated. This is now properly reported as an error, instead of
  zeroing out the file.

This release candidate is available for download at:
  http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-2.6.6rc1.tar.gz

To help with testing on Fedora or RHEL/CentOS, I''ve updated the yum
repos at:

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

Packages for EL 4 - 6 and Fedora 13 - 15 are available for testing.
Add the puppet.repo file from either the epel or fedora directories to
/etc/yum.repos.d to enable.

If you find problems with the packaging, please let me know.  If you
find other bugs, please file them in redmine:
