Bug#693845: ruby-hiera shouldn't recommend mcollective or puppet
Package: ruby-hiera Followup-For: Bug #693845 Hi (again), But as a side note, hiera is actually trying to load both puppet and mcollective gems in case they are used together. I'm however not really sure this really warrant an explicit dependency. Cheers Laurent Bigonville -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#693845: ruby-hiera shouldn't recommend mcollective or puppet
Hello Matthaus,
i can not follow your argumentation. There is no dependency or
recommendation for the packages mcollective or puppet.

Beschreibung: Light weight hierarcical data store
ruby-hiera is a simple pluggable hierarchical database. It can be used
to store various information and therefor is a good fit for the
representation of infrastructure information. It can be used to
querying multiple data backends e.g. YAML or Puppet.
Homepage: https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera/
There is just a recommendation for the packages mcollective-common and
puppet-common.
Because of the following options, you need those packages to be able to
collect facts via Mcollective or Puppet.
vagrant@pclient2:~$ hiera --help
Usage: hiera [options] key [default value] [variable='text'...]
The default value will be used if no value is found for the key. Scope
variables
will be interpolated into %{variable} placeholders in the hierarchy and in
returned values.
-V, --versionVersion information
-d, --debug Show debugging information
-a, --array Return all values as an array
-h, --hash Return all values as a hash
-c, --config CONFIG Configuration file
-j, --json SCOPE JSON format file to load scope from
-y, --yaml SCOPE YAML format file to load scope from
-m, --mcollective IDENTITY Use facts from a node (via
mcollective) as scope
-i, --inventory_service IDENTITY Use facts from a node (via Puppet's
inventory service) as scope
At the code is also a require for mcollective and puppet. Remember
this is Version 1.0.0, not 1.2.1 which is included in the Puppetlabs
packages.
Regards, Dennis

Bug#693845: ruby-hiera shouldn't recommend mcollective or puppet
With no activity here, I've fixed this in Ubuntu in version 1.0.0~rc3-1ubuntu1 by dropping the Recommends line entirely. I hope to resync once Debian applies the same change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#693845: ruby-hiera shouldn't recommend mcollective or puppet
Package: ruby-hiera Version: 1.0.0~rc3-1 Hiera has no use with mcollective, so it's unclear why mcollective is recommended with ruby-hiera, except that the tools are written by the same author. Hiera is used with puppet, but rather than hiera recommending puppet it makes more sense for puppet to recommend hiera. Both of these recommends mean that the majority of users (who have recommends installed automatically) installing hiera will get puppet, mco, ruby-dev, and a slew of other dependencies brought in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
