Hi, We've had many discussions about this in the past, but it seems the time has come to remove src:puppet from Debian. The 5.5 Puppet agent and "puppetmaster" code that is shipped by this package has been EOL for almost two years now[1]. It is broken by the Ruby 3.0 upgrade in Debian[2], and, generally, is just mostly dead code. Multiple RC bugs have just kicked it out of testing: [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950182 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009643 We have been working on repackaging everything from scratch. Puppet agent 7 has landed in unstable yesterday[3] and we're still trying to figure out how to package the Puppet Server 7 code base. This is currently blocked on jruby things, but we are confident this can be solved before the bookworm freeze. Therefore, we hope to ship Puppet Agent and Server 7 in bookworm. The src:puppet codebase is just one of the blockers we have of course, but it's a blocker and should therefore be removed from Debian for now. Details and progress of our work can be seen here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Puppet/Work A. [3] https://tracker.debian.org/news/1368401/accepted-puppet-agent-7160-3-source-into-unstable/
