Issue #22660 has been reported by Nick Fagerlund. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22660: Use consistent puppet agent service name on all platforms https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22660
* Author: Nick Fagerlund * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- For unknown reasons, the puppet agent service was renamed to `puppetagent` as part of #16144... but only on Fedora 18 and 19. Everywhere else it's `puppet`. This inconsistency is bad and pointless. 1. Let's restore `puppet` as the agent's service name on Fedora. It's possible systemd supports some form of aliasing or symlinking; if so, we should change the name to `puppet` and use aliasing to keep `puppetagent` working until Puppet 4 (when we can remove it). If aliasing is infeasible, we should ship duplicate service configs to re-enable `puppet`. 2. Can anyone give a really really good reason for changing the name of the agent service and inconveniencing everybody? Is `puppet` confusing somehow? If so, we should change it EVERYWHERE at the same time on the Puppet 4 boundary. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
