Puppet users - Apr 2011 - Puppet 2.7.0rc1 (Statler) available!

We''re very excited to announce the first release candidate of a new
feature release, Puppet 2.7.0rc1, known up until know by the code name
"Statler".

There’s a lot here to read, and we’re covering a number of areas, so
please start new email threads to discuss features and changes.

This represents our first feature release since fully implementing a
time-based release cycle. The next code name is "Telly", and the first
RC of Telly will be released six months from now.



Notable Features and Bug Fixes
=======================
1) Puppet has switched to the Apache 2.0 license

Why was this decision made?

The Apache license will make it easier for third-parties to add
capabilities to the Puppet platform and ecosystem. Over time, this
will mean a wider array of solutions that will more perfectly fit the
needs of any given team or infrastructure.

We put a lot of thought into this decision. We recognize that parts of
the Puppet community would prefer we stay on a GPLv2 license, but we
feel this migration is to the benefit of the community as a whole.

Our complete Apache license change FAQ can be found here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/faq#change-to-apache-license


2) Puppet Faces

Faces is a new API for creating new Puppet subcommands. Faces
dramatically simplify the process of extending Puppet by building new
capabilities, including additional subcommands and actions that can be
called from the command line.

We''re particularly excited about Faces and the opportunities it offers
for our user base.

You can see how easy it is to create a subcommand and action with our
new manifest validator:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/face/parser.rb

This provides a new subcommand and a single action as follows:

puppet parser validate <mymanifest.pp>

It''s also easy to create new actions for existing subcommands, which
is a great way to extend the Puppet model. It has also become
significantly easier to access Puppet subsystems as shown by the
configurer subcommand:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/face/configurer.rb

This shows how easy it is to access these subcommands and actions in Ruby code:

      facts = Puppet::Face[:facts, ''0.0.1''].find(certname)
      catalog = Puppet::Face[:catalog,
''0.0.1''].download(certname, facts)
      report = Puppet::Face[:catalog, ''0.0.1''].apply(catalog)

That small amount of code offers this on the command line:

    $ puppet configurer synchronize

which accomplishes basically the same functionality as ''puppet agent
--test'', but is much simpler to rearrange and modify for your own
needs.

We look forward to seeing what the community comes up with now that it
is so easy to interact with and extend the underlying model.

We will be releasing full API documentation and cheat sheets for Faces
before the final release of 2.7.0, but for now please raise questions
and issues on the puppet-dev and puppet-user mailing lists.


3) Ruby 1.9 support

This is the first release of Puppet to officially support Ruby 1.9,
with 1.9.2 being our minimum supported 1.9.x version.  We do have a
few known issues with 1.9 support, and we do expect more to be flushed
out as people exercise this stack, particularly in the larger type and
provider ecosystem, but it is a supported version, and bugs will be
addressed.


4) Dependency cycle reporting

We have significantly improved dependency cycle reporting so that the
cycle is clearly identifiable, and will produce graphs of such cycles
for easier debugging. Error messages will now appear as follows:

    Found 2 dependency cycles:
    (Notify[a] => Notify[b] => Notify[a])
    (Notify[mp2-2] => Notify[mp2] => Notify[mp2-2])


5) Deterministic ordering of resource application

Resources with unspecified dependencies now apply in a deterministic
order. If you’ve forgotten to specify a required dependency, this
means that either all your nodes succeed, or they all fail.
Unpredictable failures on a subset of your nodes are a thing of the
past.



Deprecations
=========
* We''ve deprecated the "--parseonly" command-line option in
favor of
the new subcommand:

    $ puppet parser validate <manifest>

* We''re issuing deprecation warnings when variable references take
place as a result of dynamic scoping:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5027



Known Issues (to be resolved before final release)
====================================
* For Face Developers: Faces has an issue with actions that are
designed for an older "current" version of a Face.  If a newer,
API-incompatible version of that Face has been marked as "current"
then the action will fail. This is an issue for forward compatibility
only, and there are no examples of this in the code, or planned in the
immediate future.

* The certificate Face isn’t fully functional for direct consumption.
The existing CA infrastructure is unaffected.

* Template evaluation fails under Ruby 1.8.5:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7101

* Remote filebuckets are not functional:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7103

Congratulations on this long awaited and momentous release. As a community
member that "would prefer we stay on a GPLv2 or later license.", I
have
severe mixed feelings.

On one hand I strongly respect all the work and code you (and your team)
have constituted to the community. On the other, I have no idea why you are
forking this project. GPL represents the "give and others will give
back"
philosophy that I understood that the puppet community epitomized.

Please explain why you are changing the "give and others will give
back"
policy that GPL represents?

-Brian

> =======================>
> 1) Puppet has switched to the Apache 2.0 license
>
> Why was this decision made?
>
> The Apache license will make it easier for third-parties to add
> capabilities to the Puppet platform and ecosystem. Over time, this
> will mean a wider array of solutions that will more perfectly fit the
> needs of any given team or infrastructure.

> Our complete Apache license change FAQ can be found here:
> http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/faq#change-to-apache-license
>
>
> 2) Puppet Faces
>
> Faces is a new API for creating new Puppet subcommands. Faces
> dramatically simplify the process of extending Puppet by building new
> capabilities, including additional subcommands and actions that can be
> called from the command line.
>
> We''re particularly excited about Faces and the opportunities it
offers
> for our user base.
>
> You can see how easy it is to create a subcommand and action with our
> new manifest validator:
>
> https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/face/parser.rb
>
> This provides a new subcommand and a single action as follows:
>

>
> It''s also easy to create new actions for existing subcommands,
which
> is a great way to extend the Puppet model. It has also become
> significantly easier to access Puppet subsystems as shown by the
> configurer subcommand:

>
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/face/configurer.rb
>
> This shows how easy it is to access these subcommands and actions in Ruby

>
>      facts = Puppet::Face[:facts, ''0.0.1''].find(certname)
>      catalog = Puppet::Face[:catalog,
''0.0.1''].download(certname, facts)
>      report = Puppet::Face[:catalog,
''0.0.1''].apply(catalog)
>
> That small amount of code offers this on the command line:
>
>    $ puppet configurer synchronize
>
> which accomplishes basically the same functionality as ''puppet
agent
> --test'', but is much simpler to rearrange and modify for your own
> needs.
>
> We look forward to seeing what the community comes up with now that it

>
> We will be releasing full API documentation and cheat sheets for Faces
> before the final release of 2.7.0, but for now please raise questions

>
> 3) Ruby 1.9 support
>
> This is the first release of Puppet to officially support Ruby 1.9,
> with 1.9.2 being our minimum supported 1.9.x version.  We do have a
> few known issues with 1.9 support, and we do expect more to be flushed
> out as people exercise this stack, particularly in the larger type and
> provider ecosystem, but it is a supported version, and bugs will be
> addressed.
>
>
> 4) Dependency cycle reporting
>
> We have significantly improved dependency cycle reporting so that the
> cycle is clearly identifiable, and will produce graphs of such cycles
> for easier debugging. Error messages will now appear as follows:
>
>    Found 2 dependency cycles:
>    (Notify[a] => Notify[b] => Notify[a])
>    (Notify[mp2-2] => Notify[mp2] => Notify[mp2-2])
>
>
> 5) Deterministic ordering of resource application
>
> Resources with unspecified dependencies now apply in a deterministic
> order. If you’ve forgotten to specify a required dependency, this
> means that either all your nodes succeed, or they all fail.
> Unpredictable failures on a subset of your nodes are a thing of the
> past.
>
>
>
> Deprecations
> =========>
> * We''ve deprecated the "--parseonly" command-line option
in favor of
> the new subcommand:
>
>    $ puppet parser validate <manifest>
>
> * We''re issuing deprecation warnings when variable references take
> place as a result of dynamic scoping:
> http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5027
>
>
>
> Known Issues (to be resolved before final release)
> ====================================>
> * For Face Developers: Faces has an issue with actions that are
> designed for an older "current" version of a Face.  If a newer,
> API-incompatible version of that Face has been marked as
"current"
> then the action will fail. This is an issue for forward compatibility
> only, and there are no examples of this in the code, or planned in the
> immediate future.
>
> * The certificate Face isn’t fully functional for direct consumption.
> The existing CA infrastructure is unaffected.
>
> * Template evaluation fails under Ruby 1.8.5:
> https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7101
>
> * Remote filebuckets are not functional:
> https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7103

Hi,

speaking only for myself, I''m of the firm belief that BSD-style
licenses
are better suited to diversify development and product growth than GPL
is. GPL is just very restrictive and potentially painful.

I''m not familiar with the apache license at all, but have no issue at
all with puppet moving away from GPL.

Just my 2c.

Felix

Hi Brian,

I''ve significantly trimmed the list of addressees - if you''d
like me to interact with lawyers from the FSF or whatever, please contact me
separately.

There are three ways to talk about this, so I''ll take them easiest to
hardest.

First, calling this release a ''fork'' is silly for so many
reasons. I understand you were doing it just to lay claim to the idea that a
relicensing constitutes a fork, but of course, I''ve got a fork of the
repo in my github account, as does nearly every contributor.  In the end, the
''main'' repo is the one that everyone continues to use, and
regardless of license, I''m confident that everyone will continue to use
our public repo on github.

Second, we''ve been talking about this literally for years, and
I''ve always said that a big part of why we got CLAs was so that we
could do this relicensing.  You and I have talked about it multiple times, in
fact, so it''s not like this is a surprise to you.  It''s
obvious that you don''t like our decision, but this kind of
grandstanding 2 years into the process isn''t going to have much impact.

Third, we obviously think that the Apache license is a better fit for our
project.  Can you point to any projects that are released under an open source
license because Puppet was GPL''d?  I can''t.  What I can do,
however, is point to projects that we don''t integrate all that well
with because the barrier of integration is higher for us.  Even worse, I can
point to lots of people who are scared to redistribute Puppet in ways I
particularly want to see happen because of the GPL.

I''ve always been honest about why I produce free software - I think
it''s the best way to accomplish my goals.  It just so happens that
Apache is a better license to use to accomplish those goals than GPL is, at
least at this point, but Apache is just as free as GPL is, and in many ways I
think it''s more free - anyone can use it in any way they want.  Given
that I want Puppet installed on every computer and every device pretty much
everywhere in the world, that''s pretty important to me.

I''m willing to continue having this debate in public if I must, but you
seem to be one of very few people who find it interesting, so I''d
prefer to take it offline if you''re willing.  I''ll also be in
NYC in a month and I''m glad to talk it out over a beer or something
then.
