Ancient Puppet version in EPEL-7: remove it?
Hello everyone,
There is an ancient version of Puppet in EPEL-7. Version 3.6 has been
EOL for ages now. https://binford2k.com/2016/11/22/puppet-3.x-eol/ has a
nice EOL overview:
* Puppet 3 - 2016-12-31
* Puppet 4 - 2018-10-??
* Puppet 5 - 2021-02-??
Puppet 6 requires a newer Ruby version than is available in EL7 so
rebasing the whole stack is not going to work. In theory you could use
SCLs but I think it's unrealistic to expect that.
However, all bugs open for Puppet relate to EPEL-7[1] so I'm wondering
what to do.
We can close all bugs as WONTFIX (including the security ones), but
would it be better to also remove the package from EPEL-7?
Regards,
Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden
