Greetings, Welcome to another Release Candidate for Puppet Dashboard (number 5).
This release is available for download at: http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/ We have included Debian and RPM packages as well as a tarball. See the Verifying Puppet Download section at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an affected version of 1.2rc5 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/dashboard Documentation is available at: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/index.html Highlights of RC5 === Allow setting of RUBY for the workers on redhat systems While we are able to set an alternative RUBY path for the dashboard server this is not possible for the workers. We now include first the general dashboard sysconfig and afterwards a (possible) dedicated workers sysconfig file, which could overwrite the general dashboard settings. This means that if you would adjust RUBY for the dashboard-server it would also be used for the workers. --- (#8748) Upgrade vendored daemons gem to fix umask on pids We had version 1.1.0 of the daemons gem because that's what the older version of delayed_job says it depends on. However, since that time, newer versions of daemons have been release with bug fixes, including setting better permissions on pids and logs and not changing the umask --- (#8694) Add backtrace info to DelayedJobFailure If reports fail to import with DelayedJob a failure entry is created that has the error message, but did not have the backtrace, which often is much more helpful for debugging. This commit adds the backtrace to the UI in an expandable form so that it doesn't look to spammy on the web page. --- Add document outlining preferred contribution methods We have historically had the preferred contribution process on the Redmine wiki, however this is not obvious to people that don't already know it is there. By adding this document to the repository itself, it becomes much easier for new contributors to find what the preferred contribution methods are. By having the preferred contribution method in the repository also means that it becomes a "curated" document, which must go through the same submission/review process that other changes to the repositories go through. --- (#8745) Update gitignore to not exclude tmp during tarball creation When the tarball for the package is composed, the tmp directory is left out due to gitignore settings. Now the project-level gitignore file does not reference tmp. A new gitignore file has been added in $RAILS_ROOT/tmp to exclude everything below it.
