[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#955532: Deprecation warning in Ruby 2.7: URI.escape is obsolete

[Louis-Philippe Véronneau]

Package: puppet
Version: 5.5.19-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Running a fresh sid install with ruby 2.7, I get a few deprecation
warnings, but mostly this one:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util.rb:461: warning: URI.escape is
obsolete

Puppet still works, but that line is repeated at least 100 times and
it's pretty annoying. It makes understanding anything that is happening
very hard, as everything just gets buried...

I had a look at the puppet 6.4 code [1] and this hasn't been fixed.
There is a ticket upstream though:

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10391

It would be great if there was a way to silence those warnings? I don't
think it's worth patching it properly in Debian (as it seems to involve
quite a bit of work).

Cheers,
