TLDR: On May 14, 1. yum release packages will move to the top-level of
yum.puppet.com; 2. links to nightly release packages will be removed from
{yum,apt}.puppet.com; and 3. PC1 (and older) packages will be moved to
release-archives.puppet.com.

All Puppet-maintained tooling and documentation referencing these paths
will be updated by the time these changes are made. Please ensure that you
are using current versions.

Read on for details, especially if you've written custom tooling with
hard-coded download paths (e.g. CI testing or provisioning workflows).

Hey folks,

In an effort to reduce clutter and confusion on some of our public download
sites (yum.puppet.com, apt.puppet.com, downloads.puppet.com, and
nightlies.puppet.com), we are planning to make some changes.

1. Release packages (for all active streams) will live at the top level
only.

This change only affects yum.puppet.com (and nightlies.puppet.com/yum),
giving us consistency with the layout on apt.puppet.com. Currently, yum
release packages live inside their corresponding repo directory, e.g.
yum.puppet.com/puppet6/puppet6-release-fedora-28.noarch.rpm
<http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet6/puppet6-release-fedora-28.noarch.rpm>.
THESE WILL BE REMOVED.

Here are some examples of where you will be able to find release packages:

Old: yum.puppet.com/puppet6/puppet6-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

New: yum.puppet.com/puppet6-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

Old: nightlies.puppet.com/yum/puppet-nightly/
puppet-nightly-release-sles-12.noarch.rpm

New: nightlies.puppet.com/yum/puppet-nightly-release-sles-12.noarch.rpm

These new paths are currently available for use. We plan to remove the old
ones on May 14. Please plan to make all updates during this period.

2. There will be no links to nightlies from main download sites.

Links like yum.puppet.com/puppet-nightly
<http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet-nightly/> and
apt.puppet.com/puppet-nightly <http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet-nightly/>
WILL BE REMOVED on May 14.

If you're looking for nightlies, visit nightlies.puppet.com. The directory
structure will match that of our main download sites.

3. All PC1 (and older) packages will be removed from {yum, apt, downloads}.
puppet.com.

PC1 (which includes puppet-agent 1.10.x and puppet 4.10.x) is reaching
end-of-life, so all packages will be moved to release-archives.puppet.com
on May 14 and no further updates will be made to these streams.

---*---*---

We have set up a temporary s3 bucket that reflects the new layout if you’d
like to test changes before the cutover:
yum-test.puppet.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

PLEASE NOTE that s3 buckets are not naturally browsable on the web. If you
visit the above url in your browser, the info you'll see is NOT ACCURATE.
You CAN, however, download packages via wget/curl/etc. so this should only
affect human eyes.

If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please reply-all
to this email.

Thanks!
