4.latest. However, I skipped that step in my upgrade and 3.7.x agents
talked fine with 4.3.x (latest when I did this). I can't say if the docs
are over protective, or if I just missed all the cases where that breaks
something.



I think it depends on the version on the server side. IIRC early 4.x 
versions did not support the older version of the communication 
protocol. I believe this was added for easier upgrade, but I am not 100% 
sure.

Is anybody aware of issues with 3.8.5 Master and 3.7.2 Agents? Is
there any reason why I should not be running this setup for a while?
Cant see anything pressing from the release notes..

Many Thanks,
Chris

Re: [Puppet Users] 3.8.5 Master with 3.7.2 Agents

IME you definitely won't have issues with 3.7.2 agents talking to a 3.8.5
master.

When you are ready to move to puppet 4, however, the upgrade docs say that
the agents should all hit 3.8 before you upgrade the master to 4.latest.
However, I skipped that step in my upgrade and 3.7.x agents talked fine
with 4.3.x (latest when I did this). I can't say if the docs are over
protective, or if I just missed all the cases where that breaks something.

[Puppet Users] 3.8.5 Master with 3.7.2 Agents

[christg76]

Hi, background here is that I want to use both Master and agents from the 
Debian repo. The Master runs on Jessie (3.8.5 from the backports), and some 
agents still on wheezy (3.7.2 from the backports).
This is not a new install, but rather an intermediate upgrade to the last 
Puppet 3 version, before moving on to 4 and Puppet Server.
Is anybody aware of issues with 3.8.5 Master and 3.7.2 Agents? Is there any 
reason why I should not be running this setup for a while? Cant see 
anything pressing from the release notes..

Many Thanks,
Chris
