[Puppet Users] Puppet 3.0.0 and Hiera
I've been using Hiera and Hiera-Puppet with Puppet 2.7 for a while now, and I've been quite enjoying it. I just noticed the available update for Puppet and saw that Hiera was now part of core Puppet. However, I've been unable to parse exactly what parts made it over, and every source of information I read seems to have different info. My confusion includes: 1. The Hiera-Puppet functions, hiera() and the array, hash and include versions. They appear in the 3.0.0 doc, but I've read they may be deprecated, changed or even unnecessary, their functionality having been incorporated into things like lookup() and include(). Since I've been making fairly heavy use of them, I need to know if I should migrate my modules to something else. 2. The hierarchy itself. How much of the configurability made it over? I've been using a custom fact or two in mine, and I'm wondering if that's still supported. Also, I've been using a combination of YAML on disk and a puppet data module to store variables, is that still supported? Basically, I've been having trouble finding consistent documentation on the subject of what changed and what didn't, so if someone could explain or point me to the correct docs, that would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to upgrade to take advantage of the other new features. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Reading this: http://puppetlabs.com/blog/first-look-installing-and-using-hiera/ It looks like the source needs to be copied into puppet's modulepath drectory - will this be different in 3.0.0 Yes that's exactly what happens. Nothing has to be done. It will just work.

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet 3.0.0 and hiera
You'll need hiera-puppet, which contains the parser functions. Puppet 3.0.0 should bring in both Hiera and hiera-puppet as deps.
