  • How to report bugs or view existing tickets of Puppet software nowadays?
    1 project | /r/Puppet | 27 Aug 2023
    I'm just wondering whether I'm the only one who's wondering how to access Puppet's ticket system nowadays? On the one hand I was stumbling over a bug in Facter last week which luckily has been fixed in the meantime because obviously someone else spotted it as well.

  • Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
    6 projects | dev.to | 22 Jan 2022
    The latest major version of Facter—Puppet's tool for collecting system information—has been out for some time now. However, we've been hard at work fixing bugs ever since. The fact that Facter has to be able to run on a variety of operating systems and architectures makes maintenance quite a challenging ordeal.

  • AlmaLinux and Foreman + Katello
    2 projects | /r/AlmaLinux | 3 Apr 2021
    Facter 3.x (part of Puppet 6.x): up to now, AlmaLinux is incorrectly detected as RedHat operating system (fact os.name). I also submitted a patch here which got merged. But so far there hasn't been a new release of Facter 3.x yet. So anybody not building Facter from source has to wait for Facter 3.15.17. Facter 4 (part of Puppet 7.x) seems to work correctly and it wasn't affected by this issue, as it is a complete rewrite with a different resolver logic.

  • Faster module tests with Facter 4 and rspec-puppet
    6 projects | dev.to | 22 Jan 2022
    One thing I haven't mentioned is that running the same tests with Puppet 6 takes a total of 25 minutes, so there's more to improve in Puppet itself as well. However, from a Facter standpoint it's impossible to make the tests any faster, unless Ruby itself improves hash access speed 😜.
