[Pkg-puppet-devel] Puppet & Debian

[Apollon Oikonomopoulos]

Hi Eric,

We spoke briefly at DevOps Days in Berlin about Puppet & Debian. Since 
we're getting near Debian Stretch's release, I would like to clarify a 
couple of points regarding our own (Debian's) packages and the future of 
Puppet.

As you are probably aware, we currently ship neither PuppetDB nor Puppet 
Server in Debian. This is primarily because we lack the Clojure 
toolchain (most notably leiningen2) and can't currently build the 
packages from source using what's available in the Debian archive only.  
We'd like to fix that eventually, but now it's too late for the Stretch 
release cycle.

With that in mind, our only option is to ship the Ruby Puppet Master, as 
we're now doing, and we'd like some "official" input regarding the 
compatibility of Ruby Puppet Master 4.8 with 3.x clients (see Debian bug 
#832536 [1]). Unfortunately the official documentation (although 
otherwise complete) only mentions the Puppet Server support status, so 
I'd really appreciate if you can confirm that the Ruby Puppet Master is 
(or is not) compatible with 3.x clients.

Regards,
Apollon
