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

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

Hi all, Paul Anderson, a friend of mine who works at the University of Edinburgh, is looking for complicated problems that are currently difficult to handle with existing config mgmt tools. Please read his request below, and if you have any difficult problems that seem to meet his needs, I''d appreciate it if you would send descriptions of them to him. Thanks, Luke Begin

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''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 -

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

Looks like there''s enough interest in runnels that it''s time to create a list: https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/runnels-dev -- Risk! Risk anything!

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:

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, 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, 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, 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 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

I''ve converted all of the inline docs over to restructured text, and I''ve got them all up on trac: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/FunctionReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ReportReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference Please let me know if you find any

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

Hi all, It was brought to my attention that the front page lists 0.23.3 as the stable release, but that no such release exists. I could have sworn I released this a few weeks ago, but now I can find no evidence of that. I''m going to publish it from the latest commit in the 0.23.x branch as soon as possible (probably in about 12 hours), so if anyone wants to get that last-minute

Hi, I''m experimenting with using Mongrel to serve XMLRPC, and I''m having trouble passing the XMLRPC errors on to the client. In my webrick implementation, I just raise the XMLRPC error and the client receives it and can handle it like a normal exception. With Mongrel, when I raise the error, Mongrel catches it and just closes the client connection, which means the

Hi all, Jennifer Davis from BayLISA has done us the service of already posting the presentation from this past Wednesday night: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8202036065161263530&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7740462681265962824&hl=en It''s about 2 hours total, and I can''t promise it''s any kind of amazing presentation, but I do a
