Issue #17260 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
The reason that this is optional is because we have already release the removal of hyphens as part of the language we shouldn't put it back in by default. So the default behavior of puppet 2.7 is that hyphens are not allowed, but a setting will turn them back on and issue a warning when they are found. This feature will not continue in puppet 3. This is a deprecation warning to give users a way of upgrading and getting appropriate warnings from manifests, that if they correct they, can upgrade to puppet 3 safely. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17260: Optional deprecation warning for hyphens in names https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17260#change-75175 Author: Andrew Parker Status: Accepted Priority: Immediate Assignee: Category: language Target version: 2.7.20 Affected Puppet version: 2.6.15 Keywords: parser language ux deprecation Branch: https://github.com/daniel-pittman/puppet/tree/feature/2.7.x/deprecation-around-variables-with-a-dash The fix for #10146 removed hyphens from identifiers in the language. This has caught out many users and resulted in manifests that broke in mysterious ways. We support for transition from names with hyphens to names without hyphens. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
