Issue #5382 has been updated by Jacob Helwig.
I don't think I actually agree with `puppet` defaulting to `puppet apply` "by convention". The convention we're moving to with all of the other commands is that they are sub-commands off of `puppet`, which has the convention that `puppet` itself is just a router to get you to the various sub-commands. It seems like it would be confusing if we had the behaviour that `puppet` applied manifests, except when given a second argument that isn't a flag, or a file, where it will actually be a completely different command. I'm definitely in favour of adding the deprecation warning to `puppet` without a subcommand. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5382: Legacy executables should issue deprecation warnings https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5382 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: executables Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Since the single executable introduced in 2.6.0 is now the official way to invoke all of Puppet's functions, we should deprecate all the standalone executables (puppetmasterd, puppetd, puppet \[without a command\], puppetca, ralsh, puppetrun, puppetqd, filebucket, puppetdoc, and pi) and print warnings when they're used. I'm told it'd be impolite to start warning during 2.6, so let's start in 2.7.0. In terms of documentation, I'm going to start describing these standalone executables as "legacy" and slated for deprecation; once 2.7 drops, I'll start describing them as deprecated and slated for removal. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
