The problem is difficult because there is no prior communication from the client to the server to know what it supports, since essentially we're "pushing" information. If that fix is in our way for 0.25.2, let's revert the sending part. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2855: Inadvertent zlib dependency http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2855 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Jesse Wolfe Category: serialization Target version: 0.25.2 Affected version: 0.25.1 Keywords: Branch: commit:"e8bce7a6c3d0941fb3b461d2f0487b3f249ff5f1" introduced a dependency on zlib, which is not technically a prerequisite of puppet. The code needs to be modified to fall back to use of the old (unziped) fact serialization format when zlib is not preset. The most straight forward way to do this creates a potential problem for the edge case in which zlib is installed on a client but not on the puppetmaster. It is reasonable to say that such configurations are not supported; zlib is not in general required for puppet but it must be installed on puppetmasters which will be serving clients with zlib. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
