Activerecord storedconfigs should still work with the current puppet. >> It seems that puppetdb is not packaged into Debian at the moment. >> There's an open RFP for it at #673515, and upstream has a Debian >> package at apt.puppetlabs.com. I did a stab at packaging it in 2012, but was not successful. At that time I was not able to figure out how to build packages with Leiningen while also following the Debian packaging policy.

You would probably need an SSL CA, but a puppet master is not necessary. (For example, see https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppetdb/blob/master/README.md) That said: "puppetdb" and "puppetserver" should be packaged. I would consider them part of the normal "puppet" stack. Anyone possessing the necessary experience with Clojure, Leiningen and Maven, or just an overdeveloped sense of adventure, is welcome to try. -- Stig Sandbeck Mathisen
