This wasn't a huge amount of coding effort, but it potentially affects a large number of users so it took some time and consideration. The change is related to (#10146) and a paying support customer escalated this issue, which is why we've been working on it over the weekend and Monday. Before the weekend, most of the work in the 2.7.x branch was focused on improving our Microsoft Windows support. Andy has finished back-porting Daniel's performance improvements as far as I can tell. I think we're trying to get a release candidate out the door today, but I'm not entirely certain if that's still on track or not. > Are there any "nightly" rpms or some-such around? > Unfortunately we don't have nightly RPM builds at this point in time. It's definitely on our list of things we'd like to provide. I may look into this as part of my community focus, do you think nightly RPM's would help make community contributions easier? What sort of things are you looking for from the nightly RPM's? A repository? Channels for 2.7.x, 3.x and master? Just master? -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
