[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#798636: puppet: Plans to switch to puppet 4 (new upstream release)

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Source: puppet
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

what are your plans to switch to puppet 4? I see that the watch
file currently tracks version 3 but upstream makes regular releases
of version 4.

Should version 4 be packaged separately or do you intend to switch
to it?

I do not know anything about the changes between the two versions but I
have customers who asked me about the status of puppet 4 in Debian and
since I think that this will interest more people I opted to open a bug to
keep track of this discussion.

Thank you!
