[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#610877: puppetmaster - Overriding parameters of parameterized classes impossible

[Bastian Blank]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 2.6.2-4
Severity: important

Puppet changed the behaviours of parameterized classes between -3 and -4
for #607294. It now _silently_ ignores overrides, see upstream bug
5517[1].

Example:

| class postfix::config::smarthost inherits postfix::config::smarthost::base {
|   class {
|     "Postfix::Config::Smarthost::Main":
|   }
| }
| 
| class postfix::config::smarthost::public inherits postfix::config::smarthost {
|   Class[Postfix::Config::Smarthost::Main] {
|     inet_interfaces => "all",
|   }
| }
