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

I''d like to be removed from the puppet-users email list... but I cant find my name on the webpage.

Mr. Kanies, If you would not mind filing the bug, it would be appreciated.

OK, too bad. I could work around it of course by adding ''unless'' and ''creates'' clauses on all the individual parts of the define where appropriate, but I think I''ll just ignore the warnings and overhead for now. It would be cool, though, if something like the ''unless'', ''onlyif'', etc, logic was available for all

Hi all, Is everyone switched over to the Google lists? I''m basically ready for the switch, I think, and doing so would be one more closed loop for me. I notice we''ve only got a bit over 300 subscribers to the Puppet Users list, while my madstop list has nearly 600. This is a bit depressing, but it probably represents a better idea of who''s actually using the

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, again. It looks like my last attempt of sending this message got cut off, at least it looks like that in the archive[1], so I''m trying again: <rerun> Luke Kanies suggested that I take this up here since his memory on the subject was a bit poor. I am trying to cat various files together into one file. According to the documentation "sourceselect => all" might

Hi all, As most probably know by now, I''ll be in London and Brussels for the next week, starting Tuesday (well, I leave Tuesday but don''t arrive until Wednesday). That means I''ll hopefully get to meet more of you (I''m giving talks in London Thursday night and in Brussels, probably on Sunday morning), but it also means I''ll have limited access

Hi all, I''ve now finished all of the functionality I plan to add in the next release, so all that remains is closing as many open bugs as possible. I''ve gone through and marked all of the bugs I specifically plan on fixing with the ''minor'' milestone. If you have a bug in the db[1] that you think needs to be fixed in the next release but is not

Hi all, I''m proud to announce that I seem to have pushed a new release of Puppet out in record time. This is a minor upgrade, mostly bugfixes and small features, but there are lots of each. See the changelog[1] for an idea of what this release provides, but keep in mind that this changelog is my first real attempt at keeping an up-to-date changelog. Enjoy! 1 -

Hi all, I just wanted to follow up on Digant''s job posting. We''re still a pretty small community, and one of the big things that defines us as a community is that we''re all pretty consistently committed to this idea of using tools to make our lives easier. I think it makes a lot of sense to attempt to look for both jobs and employees within the community, as

In my neverending quest to generate documentation so I don''t have to write it myself, I am proud to announce a new form of documentation generation: Provider features. Each resource type can now declarate "features" (currently defined as a list of methods a provider must define). Providers can then be tested to see whether they provide a given feature; for instance:

Hi all Luke Kanies suggested that I take this up here since his memory on the subject was a bit poor. I am trying to cat various files together into one file. According to the documentation "sourceselect => all" might do this. From the language reference [1]: "Whether to copy all valid sources, or just the first one. Valid values are first, all."""

Hi all, I''ve significantly reworked the RRDGraph report. Here''s some test output based on the reports lying around on my systems: http://luke.madstop.com/rrdtest/ Currently, everything except the top-level index.html file will get generated automatically by the report. I can already see I need to go check out my virtual machines, since they''re making changes

Hi all, I''ll be in Melbourne, Australia from January 24th until February 2nd, for LinuxConf Australia and a bit of vacation. James Turnbull is going to organize a meetup during the trip, so ping James at james@lovedthanlost.net if you''re going to be in .au and are interested in joining us. Cheers, Luke -- Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Hi all, Since it looks like I''ll be attending FOSDEM, I now need to find some lodging, and if possible I''d like to line up a presentation or four. Someone in the community offered to let me crash with them if I came to the conference (someone with the nick of ''robk'' on IRC, I think), so I''d like to take that person up on it if possible.

I''ve pushed 0.19.0 out the door. There are still two debian bugs I''d like to fix, but a specific client needed some of the support in this release. I expect to have those two Debian bugs fixed in a soon-to-come release, but I''m on pseudo-vacation for the next week and this needs to be out beforehand. Please open tickets for any bugs you find; I''ll have

I''ve just committed Facter 1.3.8. All of the work for this release was done by James Turnbull, so everyone should thank him for getting it done. Here''s the changelog: Fixed Rdoc::usage bug on CentOS 5 - closed Puppet #753 and Facter #40 Added support to return multiple interfaces and their IP addresses and MAC addressess as facts. Returns

Hi all, I''ve just rewritten the Puppet introduction from scratch: https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetIntroduction I think it''s better, but I''m not convinced it''s a whole heckuva lot better. Comments are very much appreciated, especially if you can recommend a better approach to the document. I tried to organize it how I have been giving
