It isn't just a matter of waiting a month or so. Short of internalizing yaml production the way we did with JSON, there's nothing we can do about it. The 6+ year old yaml library in RHEL/CentOS 4 has existing, known problems and all the workarounds for the string length problem just led to other problems. Options are: * Upgrade * Use PSON * Convince us (meaning Luke) that we should internalize yaml * Avoid things like templates that produce long strings in the catalog as much as possible and hope for the best. -- Markus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
