James, were you affected by this issue? -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Bug #16729: When using the puppetlabs repositories, `yum install puppet` should be safe. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16729#change-72396 Author: Robert Rothenberg Status: Unreviewed Priority: High Assignee: Category: package Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 Keywords: Branch: I work for a small company that is not yet ready to upgrade Puppet to v3. This upgrade may or may not cause problems for us (especially since we use a masterless network), but the upgrade will require us to devote time to test the upgrade. It would be much better if there were separate names for the distributions, say, puppet2. Users who want to delay upgrades can install puppet2 and use that until they are ready. # Updates JJM - I changed the title because different package names are a prescribed solution. There is at least one other alternative proposal, which is to use different repositories for incompatible releases. Whatever we decide on, yum install puppet should be safe for the end user. Releasing incompatible packages to the repository makes this unsafe for end users. # References * [Puppet Users - Puppet 2.7 v 3.0 in the PuppetLabs yum repo](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/puppet-users/Q14kTSE0pvY) * [Puppet 3.0.0 Release Announcement](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-announce/lqmTBX9XDtw/discussion) * [Puppet 3.0.0 breaking changes relative to Puppet 2.7.x](http://links.puppetlabs.com/telly_breaking_changes) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
