Please backport puppet 2.7.1-1ubuntu3.2 (main) from oneiric-updates

[Micah Gersten]

Please backport puppet 2.7.1-1ubuntu3.2 (main) from oneiric-updates to hardy, lucid, maverick, natty.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Per Bug #315506, hardy's puppet is useless and someone is requesting a newer puppet as well. Glenn Aaldering offered to test these updates and there are no rdepends in hardy-natty for puppet (they start in oneiric), so this is fairly "safe". hardy just needs debian/source/format removed so 1.0 format is assumed

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

@Glenn
Can you please also test facter in bug #910032 as it's needed to backport the oneiric puppet to hardy?

[Glenn Aaldering (glennaaldering)]

@Micah: thanks for the packages. Ill test if facter behaves as expected.

[Glenn Aaldering (glennaaldering)]

Regarding puppet:
========

Everything seems to work as expected except for hardy. Almost all packages need puppet-common so for hardy we would need the following packages if all the puppet packages need to be installed (in the testing section there is specific info)

sysv-rc (>= 2.87) (puppet-common)
v libaugeas-ruby1.8 (puppet-common)
v librspec-ruby (puppet-testsuite)
v libapache2-mod-passenger (puppetmaster-passenger)

Regarding facter:
========

In hardy it comes from the ppa but in lucid, natty and maverick it install as expected from the official repositories.

lucid-natty has passed the build/install/run tests per Glenn Aaldering, we'll work on hardy

[Glenn Aaldering (glennaaldering)]

Micah,

Thanks!

Regarding the backports to hardy, is there anything I can do to speed up this process? Some ideas:

puppet-common: perhaps it is possible to make puppet-common depend on sysv-rc 2.86 instead of 2.87? If so, only libaugeas-ruby1.8 should be backported to hardy. Because hardy will still be available for quite some time it would be really nice to have this backported as well.

puppet-testsuite: perhaps we could backport librspec-ruby to hardy?

puppetmaster-passanger: There is less need for this package to be backported since this is the serverside variant of puppet and most people probably already run this on the latest LTS. Im not exactly sure how hard it would be to backport libapache2-mod-passenger

Colin, Micah, Thanks for your help! Just installed puppet in lucid from backports with succes!
