[Puppet Users] upgrading opensource from 5.5 to 6.x

[Tim Mooney]

All-

When I upgraded our opensource puppet environment from 3.8 to 5.x, there
was a lot of good documentation that highlighted changes to file locations,
deprecations, settings that needed to change, etc.  There were many
things to change or update to prepare for the upgrade, but nearly
everything was spelled out pretty clearly.

I'm contemplating updating our environment from 5.5 to the most recent
6.x release, and I'm not finding any upgrade documentation of a similar
amount of detail.  I understand that there are fewer changes and
deprecations between 5.5 and 6.x than there were between 3.8 and 5.x,
but there has to be more to it than just update the packages without
making any changes to your config files, etc.

For others that have been through the same upgrade recently, what docs
did you follow, and were there any gotchas that weren't covered?

Thanks!

Tim

[Puppet Users] Facter 4 release

[Bogdan Irimie]

Hi,

I am very happy to announce the first release of Facter 4
. The team has worked
tirelessly these last couple of weeks to make the transition for projects
that use Facter as a gem (for example Modules CI pipelines) as smooth as
possible.

If you experience any issues with Facter 4 or you are not ready to migrate
to it, you can revert back to Facter 2 by setting Facter version in your
gemfile. If you are using rspec_puppet for tests, you can use
FACTER_GEM_VERSION to set the Facter version.

One of the objectives for Facter 4 is to be compatible with Facter 3, so
expect frequent releases that will close the gap between Facter 3 and
Facter 4.

The entire team is really excited about this release and we are looking
forward to your feedback. Feel free to reach out on slack
 or open a ticket on
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/projects/FACT with facter-ng label.

Best regards,
Bogdan Irimie
