Puppet users - Oct 2012 - upgrade to 3.0, ruby and rhel 5

Hi all,

I wanted to upgrade today the clients to 3.0 but, for RHEL 5, ruby
1.8.7 is not in the official repos. If we upgrade from the official
(1.8.5) package to the puppetlabs provided one, there is a good chance
that we will lose support for several applications that we are
running.
Is there a way around this? (except upgrading to PE, which will come
next year :D )

Thanks.

ruby 1.8.7 is in the dependencies repo for el5. That repo is enabled
by default if you install the puppetlabs-release package
(http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/5/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-5-6.noarch.rpm).

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/5/dependencies/{i386,x86_64,SRPMS}/

Once you add the dependencies repo, the new ruby will be available.

Hi,

I dont know about redhat but i did change my ubuntu repository list to 
point to the /dev repositories rather than the /main repositories and it 
worked.

No worries, thanks for replying.

Another solution/question would be: could i function properly with
puppetmaster 3.0 and clients 2.7.19 (on RHEL 5 only) for the next half
of year? Or might I run into some kind of horrendous incompatibilities
(except the puppetd-never-ending-run problem).

2.7.19 clients should work just fine against a 3.0 master.

Excellent. I''ll remove the 3.0 packages from our satellite then.

Thanks for you answer.
