<p>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.</p>
<p>Puppet 5 is now in the ports tree (as
<tt>sysutils/puppet5</tt>). The C++ version of Facter
(<tt>sysutils/facter</tt>) got a lot of love and is now a
drop-in replacement for the previous Ruby version of Facter
(<tt>sysutils/rubygem-facter</tt>); it is the default facts
source for the Puppet 5 port.</p>
<p>Work continues on bringing in Puppetserver 5 to the ports
tree, and on keeping all the ports up-to-date.</p>

<task>The <tt>pkgng</tt> 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).</task>
<task>The <tt>databases/puppetdb[345]</tt> and
<tt>sysutils/puppetserver[45]</tt> ports rely on Clojure and
Java, and download compiled jar files instead of building them
from source.</task>
