Howdy ho! Right, so this week the puppet team is trying to pick up the tattered remains of our work.
Tattered? If you have been paying attention to our releases you'll see that we've been putting together a lot of security releases, which have used most of the team for the last few weeks. We are now winding down from that, and there is probably going to be things to do in the aftermath for a while yet. So what are we doing this week? * Cut a Facter 1.7.0 RC * Coming up with a path for getting the prototype for iteration in the language into the next puppet minor release (3.2). * Working through some of the ARM process as a dry run * Working toward a Hiera 2 * Working out a plan for handling reboots during package installation on Windows * SSL enhancements * More hiring management! * Dealing with some other things found during the security work (I'm not sure how we are tracking all of that yet) The item about SSL enhancements is a last minute shift in direction. We realize that many of the things that we had wanted to get in a 3.2 release were not going to make it because of various reasons, but we wanted to come up with something that would still make 3.2 an interesting release. Looking around we decided to try and tackle the issues that have been plaguing SSL certificate names and using external certificates in a puppet infrastructure. The Hiera 2 work was actually planned, but has been deferred for a long time by the security work. Our first part of the plan is to collect some examples of hierarchies, uses of interpolation in hierarchies, and how people use the various hiera_(array|hash) methods. At the moment, I think the branch that I created at https://github.com/zaphod42/hiera/tree/spike/master/2.x-possible may be the basis for the hiera 2 code.
