Red Hat will be back porting patches until 2020. I have seen very little performance improvements with Ruby 1.9 and Puppet. 1.9 is much faster for certain things, I didn't see Puppet as one of them during my testing. > > Also, if we get this out of the way now, when someone finds a security > vulnerability in 1.8 we won't have to do a mad dash to try to work it all out > later. Why would there be a security vulnerability that Red Hat wouldn't take care of?

Who would make sure that updates happen here? I haven't seen the complete support stance on SC yet from Red Hat. I think they'll be great, but I'm not sure if they'll be extra money for people's subscriptions, or how they'll work overall. I also don't really understand why we should have two ways install Puppet on the same OS when neither has any significant advantages over the other. I still haven't been convinced this is a great thing to do. ---------------------------------------- Feature #21950: Puppet Packages should be built to support Ruby 1.9 from Software Collections. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21950#change-95482 * Author: Trevor Vaughan * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Michael Stahnke * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.3 * Keywords: software collections, rhel, centos, security * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Many RHEL/CentOS users wish to move to Ruby 1.9 but without having to roll their own environment and repackage all Puppet packages. The Fedora Software Collections gives us this capability and I would like to request that a set of packages be rolled to support Ruby from SC. https://fedorahosted.org/SoftwareCollections/ -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
