This summer has seen the creation of a puppet@ team to help + maintain the ~30 Puppet-related ports in the &os; ports tree. + These ports were previously maintained by various committers, + and from time to time this introduced some delays when + updating a port due to the need to wait for a maintainer's + approval for a related change to a different port.

+ +

Puppet 5 is now in the ports tree (as + sysutils/puppet5). The C++ version of Facter + (sysutils/facter) got a lot of love and is now a + drop-in replacement for the previous Ruby version of Facter + (sysutils/rubygem-facter); it is the default facts + source for the Puppet 5 port.

+ +

Work continues on bringing in Puppetserver 5 to the ports + tree, and on keeping all the ports up-to-date.

+ + + + The pkgng package provider has some minor issues + (it breaks things when no repos are configured, and is not + working properly from the context of the MCollective package + agent). + + The databases/puppetdb[345] and + sysutils/puppetserver[45] ports rely on Clojure and + Java, and download compiled jar files instead of building them + from source. + + +
