Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Managing conflicting forge dependencies

Hi all,

How do you manage different forge modules that require conflicting versions
for the same module?
The most common example is ripienaar/concat vs puppetlabs/concat:
puppetlabs/puppetdb requires puppetlabs/postgreql 2.x, which requires
ripienaar/concat
puppetlabs/apache requires puppetlabs/concat

Thanks.

Looks like you a hit that issue while they were transitioning from 
ripienaar to puppetlabs. The postgresql module now correctly refers to the 
new puppetlabs/concat module[1]. 

As for managing modules that require conflicting versions for dependencies, 
there is not an easy solution; you have to resolve the dependencies. This 
usually entails upgrading something.

For the specific issue you had above, I believe that would have been caught 
by librarian-puppet, since it does dependency checking, though it should 
have just worked if you used librarian-puppet-simple[2].

Yes, that dependency is solved with the puppetdb module upgrade to 3.0
Unfortunately, there are other interesting modules that still depend on
ripienaar, such as example42/sudo.
I guess I''ll just have to wait for updates.

Thanks for your time.

On an unrelated issue (and since I''m still starting with modules),
would
this list be a good place to present a new module for review?
