[Puppet-dev] howtopuppet.com - anyone want the domain?

2018-01-11 Thread Jason Antman
Happy new year, Puppet-y friends! I haven't been terribly active in the Puppet community for a few years now, as my job focus has shifted quite a bit. Namecheap was just nice enough to remind me that I registered howtopuppet.com back in February 2014, with plans of turning it into an FAQ site.

If this was just a troll, I'll speak the unfortunate truth - please keep that on the puppet-users list, which is increasingly filling with it. If this was a legitimate question, I'd guess you have some horrible misconfiguration - ActiveRecord was barely functional at best, and riddled with problem

+10, shipit for both. setting trusted_node_data turns "$facts" into a reserved variable and triggers a nice warning as such if you try to use it. Seems that such behavior should happen automatically for any reserved word (in puppet4, I assume). On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 4:44 AM, David Schmitt wro

Re: [Puppet-dev] Flexible version matching for packages?

2014-02-12 Thread Jason Antman
I had a pull request [1] to "fix" version comparison for yum and rpm packages, as the current behavior is far from what yum does. The PR's more or less stalled waiting for me to rework it, but I feel pretty strongly that before we implement flexible versioning like this, we need to make sure ve

Re: Deepak's message about community maintainers... that sounds wonderful to me. I'm not sure they'd even need commit access, perhaps it would be feasible to operate on a model where all PRs against a given provider are handled by a maintainer, and once they sign off a PL employee does the merge.

Dustin, Yeah, you sure have. I reached out to the puppetagain/releng list (and maybe also puppet-users) a few months ago when I first started this project. Your advice was probably pretty much the same, so I hope my replies are. On 01/14/2014 09:25 PM, Dustin J. Mitchell wrote: > I could have swo
