Issue #23000 has been updated by James Patterson.
Sure, but it overwrites a binary from another vendor, and that might break things. If the binaries were instead put in a separate place, Puppet could still use them and it couldn't break anything. ---------------------------------------- Bug #23000: puppet should not overwrite system binaries https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23000#change-100099 * Author: James Patterson * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Red Hat * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Installing puppet should not overwrite system-provided binaries. I have a RHEL5 system which uses ruby 1.8.5. Puppet requires a newer version, and bundles it. The bundled dependency overwrites a vendor-supplied package rather than installing it in another location. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
