Issue #9407 has been reported by Daniel Pittman. ---------------------------------------- Feature #9407: Use platform-appropriate defaults for `:vardir`, etc. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9407
Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: usability Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: In #3962 we found that Puppet wouldn't start on anything that didn't ship `/var/lib` out of the box, notably OS-X and Solaris. These platforms all have sensible places that, like `/var/lib` on Linux, are where we *should* store our state, databases, etc. We should enhance Puppet so that the default `:vardir`, and every other similar path, is rooted somewhere platform-appropriate. This will fix the underlying cause of #3962, as well as making us a nicer citizen of the various platforms we manage. This is a pretty big usability issues for platforms that are not Linux. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
