EPEL -ANNOUNCE Puppet 2.7 upgrade in 6

[Sam Kottler]

Hi!

Puppet 2.7 is waiting to get pushed to stable and I just wanted to give people a heads up about the upgrade procedure. Please ensure that your master(s) get upgraded before your agents. I'd recommend following this [1] guide. This upgrade is critical because 2.6 is no longer supported and doesn't receive security releases, leaving both masters and agents potentially susceptible to attack.

Let me know if you've got any issues or questions.

-Sam

Thanks for the heads up.

Will you do a 2.7 for EPEL5 as well?

That's the plan. I pushed EPEL6 first since I figured more people would be running masters on the newer distro and masters need to be on newer versions than agents. I'm hoping to get the EPEL5 upgrade into testing by the end of the week.

I'd expect the opposite. We're constantly rolling out RHEL6 servers, but
finding time to upgrade the puppetmaster to RHEL6 is not as easy. But
thanks for the push :-)

Sorry for the delay - I've been working on it, but hit a few snags.
Should have an update submitted by the end of the week.
