[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#663873: puppet-common: Puppet 2.6-2.7 are broken for runit/daemontools/runsvdir support

[Bryon Roche]

Package: puppet-common
Version: 2.7.11-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

When using runit/daemontools with puppet, the puppet provider for
handling runsv style services is broken, as it does not wait for
runsvdir to detect a new service.

This is known to upstream puppet as bug 4480:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4480

A patch branch/pull request is included at
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/463

This should probably be applied as an update to puppet in stable, as
well as testing/sid.
