----------------------------------------
Bug #22660: Use consistent puppet agent service name on all platforms
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22660#change-100515

* Author: Nick Fagerlund
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 3.4.0
* Affected Puppet version: 
* Keywords: fedora, systemd, rpm, package, agent
* Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1966
----------------------------------------
For unknown reasons, the puppet agent service was renamed to `puppetagent` as 
part of #16144... but only on Fedora. 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.
