similar to: ANNOUNCE: Release candidate for 0.23.0

Hi all, I''ve finally released 0.23.0 (only two days late!). You can get it from the usual locations (although the packagers will take a little while to package it up, I assume): https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/InstallationGuide You can read the full changelog[1], which is pretty long, but here''s a summary of the things you either want or should look out for:

Hi all, As anyone on the commits list now knows, I''ve added all of the tags from svn to git. You can fetch all of the tags with this command: git fetch --tags Then you can compare the tagged releases like any other commit: git diff 0.23.1 0.23.2 I''ve also updated the PuppetSource wiki page with this info. -- Barondes'' First Law: Science abhors

Hi all, I need to write an aptitude provider for Debian. How should it differ from apt? Can I just s/apt/aptitude/g, or do I need to do something else? Any other weird behaviours I should look for or whatever? I''ll make it a subclass of apt (and since Deb seems to specify aptitude as the default now, maybe apt should subclass aptitude), so any dpkg answerfile work should work on

Hi all, I''ve done as much bug-fixing as I''m going to be able to do in 0.24.2, I think, so please test the current code if you can. I made some unfortunately significant changes today, in order to try to remove any shared objects in the file server, which will hopefully solve the file corruption issues, plus some very strange issues resulting from renaming

Hi all, I''m getting very close to the next release of Puppet, and I need help making sure it''s as bug-free as possible. The major changes in this version relate to Rails (and thus resource collect/export) and transaction internals. If you are currently using Puppet''s rails support, you''re going to have to migrate manually, unfortunately (or just

Can anyone who''s having this problem please send details? I''m trying to reproduce it -- I''ve got 5 clients concurrently retrieving 200 10k files made of random binary, and I can''t get any corruption or memory growth at all. Is everyone experiencing the problem using Mongrel? Webrick? What versions of ruby? Are only big files affected? Small files?

Hi all, Below is a patch that fixes a couple of instances where a function is used before it has been prototyped. There was a little subtlty involved here because the file include/test_libs_common/metadata_utils.h had the #include guard the same as that of /src/test_libFLAC/metadata.h meaning that only the first one included would actually do anthing. Patch below. Cheers, Erik diff -u -r1.4

Hi all, It seems that with commit number 13652 I inadvertantly broken the build. The problem is that I'm using the default version of gcc on Ubuntu which is gcc-4.1.2. It seems that this version is actually a C99 compiler and C99 explicitly allows declarations after statements. However, declarations after statements raise an error in earlier versions of gcc. In short this is an error that

Hi, I finally found why ralsh was failing on my systems; Puppet was installed as a gem and ralsh couldn''t find it. I added the preamble from puppetd and it seems to work fine now: ---8<--- snip ---8<--- 65c65,75 < require ''puppet'' --- > > require ''rubygems'' > version = "> 0" > if ARGV.size > 0 &&

Hello community, We are running puppetmaster 0.22.3 with 45 servers attached and we are seeing a lot of messages that say: (err): Could not describe /ssh/sshd_config.RedHat: End of file reached: We were seeing a lot of this with 0.22.1 as well. Interestingly, during the stretch where we were running 0.22.2 (most of April until 2 days ago) we didn''t see this error at all or very

Hi all, I''m hoping to release 0.22.4 on Monday, so please test now. As always, if possible please actually run this somewhere in your infrastructure, in addition to running the unit tests, since there are always areas that aren''t quite covered with the unit tests. Hopefully this will be the last point release before the next major release (elmo). -- To my

And someone goes and redesigns the look and operation of the Trac. Quite noice, but a couple of comments: * The main toolbar ("Wiki", "Documentation", "Timeline") ends up under the puppet logo on the left hand side, which is a pest. * I can''t click on any link, text box, or button in the main part of the page. All of the navigation links work fine, and I

Hi all, In looking at the current bug list for elmo[1], it''s pretty clear that this is a lot of work, and some of it is kind of segmented into related chunks. Additionally, a good bit of it has an impact on backward compatibility, although in nearly all cases I expect to be able to remain entirely or almost entirely backwards compatible. Given that, would people prefer that I

Greetings How do I do this in R? Checking the Cran site produces a bewildering array of packages that I can't seem to find to load. Surely the main program has this function?

Hi all, I''ve just finished the last major work before a new release (0.23.0). I''ve got my next work planned out, and I want to get this code, with its bug-fixes et al, released. There have been significant internal changes, so I would really appreciate it if people could test it against their systems, especially those who are using non-{Debian,OS X} platforms, like

Greetings I have a bunch of NAs in a column of categorical variables designating the size classes (e.g., smallest to largest: 1,2,3,4) of cave crickets. I'd like to substitute "U" (for unknown) for the NAs. Can anyone give me an idea how to do this? Thanks in advance.
