Puppet users - May 2014 - Puppet 3.6.1 Virtual Packages, and unrelated facts questions...

Hello,

Just updated the test environment to 3.6.1 and I know the changes have been 
made for virtual packages. But now each agent output displays this:-

Warning: The package type's allow_virtual parameter will be changing its 
default value from false to true in a future release. If you do not want to 
allow virtual packages, please explicitly set allow_virtual to false.
   (at /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/type.rb:816:in `set_default')

I know we can set a top level default but does that really have to come out 
constantly ?

Now this may be related to 3.6.x but I cannot say for sure. A couple of 
facts we use are now throwing some errors.

First is:-
Could not retrieve fact='concat_basedir',
resolution='<anonymous>':
uninitialized constant Puppet

Which comes from:-
Facter.add("concat_basedir") do
    setcode do
        File.join(Puppet[:vardir],"concat")
    end
end

The second is:-
Error converting value for param 'config': Could not find value for
$confdir

Which comes from this extract:-
          if Puppet.version.to_i >= 3
            Puppet.settings.initialize_global_settings(Puppet[:config]) 
unless Puppet.settings.global_defaults_initialized?
          else
            Puppet.parse_config
          end

If I set it with:-
Puppet.settings.initialize_global_settings(["--config=/etc/puppet/puppet.conf"])

Then it works fine.

So it seems they may be related in facter not reading from the puppet.conf 
file correctly ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul
