The main issue I still have, and I just checked again, is that too many Forge modules say in their documentation that they're only supporting Puppet 3. E.g. Logstash, Nginx. Now, maybe in actual fact they work fine in Puppet 4; and that was mostly my experience when I played with it. But, you know, if someone's crazy Forge module doesn't work, users point the finger at Puppet for that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
