All -- We're presently doing a sprint to produce 2.6.2, in which we'd like to fix a significant set of the outstanding issues in the 2.6 series without letting it grow (and thus be delayed) the way many of our recent point-point releases have. The ideas here is to produce something that makes worthwhile progress in a reasonable time frame, get it out and into people's hands, then repeat as necessary. We're also trying to consciously improve our process (and, as previously noted, transparency) as we do so..
At present we are hoping to include the following tickets: Checked in --------------- #3707 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3707) rpm exit code #4631 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4631) tagging problems in 2.6 #4657 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4657) Customer-supplied .rb files are not compatible with multiple environments or staleness check #4692 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4692) empty factor variable causes private method `split' called for :undef:Symbol #4708 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4708) tagmail should allow . in tagname #4716 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4716) ResourceTypeAPI exposes implementation details that are likely to change #4743 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4743) The audit metaparameter does not handle the value 'all' properly. #4746 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4746) FreeBSD service should end writing to /etc/rc.conf with a newline #4771 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4771) import of manifests with the same name only happens once #4787 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4787) Tidy fails with uninitialized constant Puppet::FileBucket::Dipper #4798 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4798) Puppet doc manifests documentation mode broken #4819 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4819) cron documentation #4822 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4822) Puppet doc -o option broken Ready for testing ----------------------- #4763 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4763) ActiveRecord detection fails In process -------------- #4649 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4649) fcntl doesn't work on windows #4781 (http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4781) Filebuckets intended to be remote are still local There are also a few more tickets under investigation and we'll be on the lookout for any reports of issues with 2.6.1 (though as we get closer to 2.6.2 the threshold of what constitutes "serious enough to cause a hold" will be going up). We'll keep you posted as we progress; feel free to comment, test, suggest things, submit code, etc. -- M ----------------------------------------------------------- The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. ~George Bernard Shaw ------------------------------------------------------------ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
