[Puppet Users] Open Source Team iteration & planning summary 2011-07-13
We''ve made some good progress on getting Facter & Puppet running on Windows. Currently, we have Facter installable and running through install.rb, with all tests passing on Windows Server 2008 R2. We also have Puppet installable through install.rb, and are currently working on getting the code and tests to a passing state. We have explicitly disabled running the master under Windows with an appropriate message stating that it is not supported. We may re-visit this at some point, but for now we''re just concerned with getting "puppet agent", and "puppet apply" working on Windows. We''ve been adding sub-tasks to the meta-ticket (#8268). If you''re following along at home, please feel free to bring up any issues you may find on the parent, or any of the appropriate sub-tickets. Completed backlog items: * Explicitly disable master on Windows. * Facter installs on Windows * Facter tests passing on Windows * Puppet installs on Windows * #8356 - Default value of :color should be false on Windows * #7581 - Provide more detailed error message when missing gems on Windows Current backlog: * #8341 - Puppet loading facts repeatedly * Disable tests exclusive to master functionality on Windows * All Puppet tests passing on Windows * #8322 - Facter should return as much info as Windows SystemInfo * #8272 - Windows Services Management * #8414 - Task scheduler type/provider for Windows * #8301 - Red Hat Spec file in 2.7.2rc1 isn''t quite right * #8408 - Local user provider for Windows * #8409 - Local group provider for Windows * #8410 - Exec provider for Windows * #8411 - File type working on Windows * #8412 - MSI package provider for Windows * #8413 - Ability to run Puppet as an agent on Windows -- Jacob Helwig ,---- | Join us for PuppetConf, September 22nd and 23rd in Portland, OR | http://bit.ly/puppetconfsig `----
