[Pkg-puppet-devel] puppet: Thanks for packaging puppet!

[Sven Mueller]

And I mean a _big_ thanks!

And forgive me for making you aware of WNPP RFP bug ruby-hiera and
ruby-hiera-puppet (#661187):
These make many aspects of puppet a lot cleaner if used wisely (instead
of an external node definition script and potentially replacing a lot of
inheritance between node definitions). Perhaps you would be able to take
care of that?
The gems seem simple, but I still am not able to make the packages:
gem2deb fails for me in one of two ways:
Either the test suite fails with a weird (to me at least) error message:
  /usr/bin/ruby1.8 -I/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby \
	/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gem2deb/test_runner.rb
  Running tests for ruby1.8 with test file list from 
	debian/ruby-test-files.yaml ...
  -e:1:in `require': no such file to load -- spec/spec.opts (LoadError)
        from -e:1
        from -e:1:in `each'
        from -e:1
or it reports
  debian/ruby-hiera/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/hiera.rb: require 'rubygems'
  Found some 'require rubygems' without overrides (see above).
If I disable the test suite by removing debian/ruby-test-files.yaml

Kind regards,
Sven
