Hi, I''m new to Puppet and, tbh, still evaluating Puppet and Chef. The time has come to install both in a proof-of-concept environment. I''m wondering if I should install Puppet 2 (2.6.16 is available in my Yum repo) or whether I should go with Puppet 3. Is there a document that lists the differences between the two major versions?

Puppet 2.7.19 is the latest stable release, Puppet 3.0 is still in RC. To give your proof of concept a fair trial, I''d say go with Puppet 2.7. All of the documentation on PuppetLabs'' site is for 2.7 too. http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6Server/products/x86_64/ On 19/09/12 16:29, Mark wrote:> Hi, I''m new to Puppet and, tbh, still evaluating Puppet and Chef.

I think it''s worth noting 2.6 is pretty old and 3.0.0 only exists in release candidate packages, not as an official release. I recommend trying Puppet 2.7 which is much newer and has many bugfixes. We''ve only been doing security related bugfixes against 2.6 for some time now. I also recommend installing the most recent packages from our own repository at https://yum.puppetlabs.com/ Detailed information is at: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Thanks Luke, I''m also looking for some information about the feature differences between the two major versions.
