Will Farrington, Andrew Parker, Mike Stahnke, and I just had a conversation at PuppetConf about the future of 2.7 and decided that Will and I will be maintaining and managing releases for the 2.7 branch. This means that Puppet Labs will be hosting 2.7 packages on the releases page and in package repos at least until September 30, 2014 when the Puppet Enterprise 2.x lifecycle ends.
Will and I will write the release notes for 2.7 and will likely setup a separate Jenkins instance to run integration and functional tests. We'd love some help on the QA side going forward so feel free to reach out if you're interested in getting involved. One of the motivations behind this change is that the packages in EPEL and Debian wheezy rely (or will very soon) on a stable 2.7 branch due to the large number of breaking changes in 3.0+. This branch will serve as an upstream for those repos. Let me know if you've got any questions. -Sam On Thursday, July 11, 2013 9:28:08 AM UTC-7, Michael Stanhke wrote: > > The time has come for us to say good-bye to the Puppet 2.7 series. > This means the security fixes, bug fixes, and features provided for > Puppet 2.7 since its release in June 2011 will cease on October 1, > 2013. > > We strongly encourage users who have not already upgraded to move > forward to the Puppet 3 series, originally released on Sept 28, 2012. > This version is actively developed and maintained, with Puppet 3.2.2 > released June 18 and 3.2.3 currently in a release candidate phase.
