Issue #3461 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar aka Volcane.
This can go either way, depending on your use of the term official. For a fast paced project like Puppet where distros cant keep up official has to be the project.

It's hard, the sanest approach I could come up with is the project build their own 'official' packages at release time - mysql does/did this for example - and if distros arent happy with those they can at their own pace release ones they build - potentially from the same source spec/deb makefiles. That way the project has a sanctioned bunch of packages which assists in debugging and consistency issues. And the distros have their way in having the freedom they desire. Users win cos the bleeding edgers can get well packaged software from the project, while the LTS type users get good distro sanctioned packages. The times we find people being bitten because they foolishly figured install.rb/gems was sane things to use was all as a result of the project not providing debs/rpms/etc. Providing those at release time for at least the big 3 (rhel, debian/ubuntu, solaris) would solve a lot of heartaches ---------------------------------------- Bug #3461: Debian init scripts not packaged in ext along with others http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3461 Author: Michael DeHaan Status: Needs design decision Priority: Low Assigned to: Nigel Kersten Category: installation Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: When installing from source, I'd like it if setup.rb installed init scripts for me, possibly as an option, or otherwise they were at least there for me to copy. SuSE, RedHat, gentoo, etc all seem to be in tree, but there are no Debian examples. This makes a source install a little more difficult on that platform as I have to furnish my own init scripts.
