If you aren’t using puppetlabs-concat or are still using the
puppetlabs-concat module with version 1.x you don’t need to continue
reading. But, if you’re using puppetlabs-concat 2.0.x...

tl;dr - we have uncovered an issue in the Puppet core that impacts the
puppetlabs-concat 2.0.x series and are deleting those releases from the
forge. Please downgrade your environments to use puppetlabs-concat 1.2.x.

We recently reworked the puppetlabs-concat module to transition from an
exec running a ruby script to concatenate files together to a native type
(hooray!). This gave us vast performance improvements, but with the way the
type was implemented we ended up running into a Puppet bug (
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1963)
that we can’t effectively work around with the existing code. Due to this,
we’re pulling the 2.0.x release series. The Puppet bug was causing us to
not properly propagate notify and subscribe metaparameters triggered by
changes in puppetlabs-concat resources. This means that, for example,
services subscribing to concat resources will not get restarted when the
configuration file is updated.

To mitigate these issues, the puppetlabs-concat 2.0.x releases will be
deleted from the forge. They will still be available for download but will
not be installable using the PMT. We are still hoping to rework
puppetlabs-concat to use a native type, however we don’t have a firm
timeline for when that work will happen.
