In an effort to become more transparent I'm going to start trying to write up a periodic update on what the Puppet Labs developers are going to be concentrating our time on. I'm hoping that this will give everyone a bit of insight into things, an opportunity to help us out on what we are doing (code, comments, whatever), and allow others to choose things to work on that fit into a larger direction that we are working on. I'm just taking a first stab at this here, let me know if this is useful or if any other information about what we are planning might be good to include.
Work for this iteration: Our iterations are fortnightly at the moment. For this fortnight we have chosen to concentrate on getting 2.7.20 ready for release. 2.7.20 will be the last "planned" release of the 2.7 series, after this we'll be concentrating on moving forward in the 3 series and only obvious bugs will be fixed in 2.7. #16581 - SID resolution very slow * Josh and I are working through this. Josh has already put together a patch that appears to fix the problem, which looks to be an issue with using the WMI interfaces for SID resolution and so are changing to using the native interfaces (I'm not really versed in windows, so Josh can correct me if I am stating this wrong) * As part of this work we tackled making our Jenkins jobs for windows use Bundler for managing dependencies. I wanted to do that so that the Gemfile wouldn't just rot. Now that it is being used at least a little bit all of the time it should be clear when it stops working. #16791 - Undo breaking changes from the backport of performance fixes from 3.0.0 * As I had promised we did the backport of some of our 3.0.0 performance fixes into the 2.7 line. Unfortunately we noticed that we also backported some of the backwards incompatible changes. Oops. Luckily they were noticed and we can fix them up before the release. #16330 - Update ZAML license * It was pointed out that ZAML, as we had it, was actually licensed as GPL. That was a mistake for us to have GPLd code, and we worked with the ZAML authors who graciously dual licensed it under Apache/GPL. We need to update our ZAML to be in compliance. This was already done as part of the 3.0.0 release and so this is really just a backport of that work. #14822 - Ensure providers can run if features are delivered during a run * Pull request from Dominic Cleal. I think that all that is needed here is a final run through of the change and a merge. In addition, Jeff McCune is continuing with dealing directly with pull requests submitted and helping get those ready. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
