Hello, I am very pleased to announce the next release of various Choria modules. This is a huge release that includes the ability to write Playbooks in the Puppet DSL. You can have custom error handling, branching to handle failures etc, this is a massive step forward for the Playbooks feature. I think this is a massive leap forward that at this point the old YAML playbook DSL have no purpose. Thus it's now deprecated. This release supports both Plan and YAML Playbooks but the next release will remove the YAML ones. I posted a blog post about these[1] and the official documentation have been completely updated for the Plan feature. I am also in the process of consolidating the *mcollective* and *mcollective_choria* modules into a new *choria* module. To upgrade to this release you need:
* Puppet 5.4.0 if you want to use the Plans based Playbooks * Install the *choria/choria* module in addition to the ones you have now * Take note that the* puppetlabs-stdlib* and *camptocamp-systemd* dependencies have been updated *choria/choria version 0.1.0* * Initial release supporting Plan based Playbooks *choria/mcollective_choria version 0.6.0* * Support stringified and real booleans in PQL discovery * Clarified UI of the *choria_util* agent * Removes the *bolt_task* playbook feature * Allow Playbooks to be written using the Puppet Plans DSL * Use the NATS gem 0.3.0 * Restore deep merging of the gem dependencies *choria/mcollective version 0.4.0* * Update *stdlib* dependencies * Ensure *crontimes* and *fqdn_rand* isn't called when removing the facts cron * Avoid dependency cycles when using Librarian Puppet *choria/nats version 0.3.0* * Support disabling TLS * Support Debian Stretch * Support OEL7 Special thanks to Javier Juarez, @ps-beilers, Andrew Stangl and Tim Meusel for their contributions to this release! -- R.I.Pienaar / www.devco.net / @ripienaar Links: 1. https://www.devco.net/archives/2018/02/25/choria-playbooks-dsl.php -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mcollective-users" group.
