[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#607294: puppet: broken parameterized classes inheritance

[intrigeri+debian at boum.org]

Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.2-3
Severity: important

Hi,

I've been hit by issues with parameterized classes in non-trivial
situations and especially when using inheritance with them.

This has been know as the upstream bug #4534 [1] that was fixed in
2.6.3.

The issues I am having do not appear when using experimental's 2.6.3
packages.

According to upstream Changelog this has been fixed by commit 65ef24e [2].

I've not tried applying this patch to Squeeze's 2.6.2-3 source yet.
