Hi,
I have no idea if this has come up before, I didn''t bother to check the
archives or anything, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have
Puppet''s documentation reflect the version in which a certain feature
was
added.
For example, I just added a user to my catalog using the
''system''
parameter, as per http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#user:
system
Whether the user is a system user with lower UID. Valid values are
true, false.
And now all my 2.6.3 nodes are complaining:
"Invalid parameter system at /etc/puppet/manifests/..."
A little digging into the source revealed to me, that this feature is not
present in 2.6.3, but it is in 2.7.5. I have no idea in what version it
was introduced.
It would be nice if the type reference would contain that information.
Best regards,
Martijn Grendelman

FWIW, I knew where to find the docs for my particular version, but I just have ''latest'' in my bookmarks. I did not know about ''puppet describe <type>'', which is pretty nice! Thanks!
