[Pkg-puppet-devel] removing puppet source package from unstable/testing

[Antoine Beaupré]

Hi everyone,

I just had the chance to test the Puppet agent 7 packages from
experimental that Jerome uploaded, and I must say they work
flawlessly. I tested them, on bookworm, only against a Puppet server 5
installation, running bullseye, but it's a pretty clean transition.

I think we should make room for that package in unstable now. I propose
that we should RM (remove) the current `puppet` source package from
Debian unstable. The new puppet-agent package from experimental builds a
binary `puppet` transitional package so the transition should be okay
(although I haven't tested that directly with an apt-upgrade).

An alternative approach would be for the current source `puppet` server
to stop building the puppet-agent package, but that seems like a much
more involved approach. Furthermore, I don't think the work we did on
the puppetserver 7 package will go into the `puppet` source package
anyways, so we will have to remove that package at some point anyways.

If there are no objections within a week, I will file a removal bug with
the ftp-masters.

Thanks!

a.
