Source: puppet-agent
Version: 8.10.0-6
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: waldi@debian.org

The original puppet-agent source is unmaintained since two years, after
Perforce as new owner abondened everything.  This means this code is
without upstrem and without security support.

There exists a free fork by the Voxpopuli people called openvox.  It
also is 15 releases ahead, at 8.25.0.
