Dne 4.9.2017 v 14:58 James Hogarth napsal(a):
I'm in two minds whether to suggest we leave facter as it is for F25-27 or whether to at least update those to 2.5.1 which won't have the drastic 3.0 changes.
For me it is always clear. Keep the branched versions as they are unless you have really good arguments for upgrade.
Usually I'd agree... but facter is way behind on bug fixes and hasn't seen an update in two years... a full three fedora releases ago.
A move to the most recent 2.X on the branches whilst 3.X is arranged in rawhide has decent justification... but I'll wait on what to do with that after a discussion with upstream.
I've also not looked fully into the EPEL situation but from an initial cursory look of gemfiles I think the ruby versions there are out of their support matrix.
Well, there is still just Ruby 1.8.7 in EPEL6 and these are rather old and incompatible (mainly due to encoding support and character handling). It should be better in EPEL7 with Ruby 2.0.0. Upstreams tends to drop official support for older Rubies (without any real reason except reducing the support matrix), but the code typically works (although you might need to relax some dependencies).
One thing to always consider is the dependency chain, including the build dependencies ...
Yeah this is another package that's just going to be left at an old version in EPEL6 I fear... I really wish we could link to Red Hat SCL packages for these situations... but oh well. Since my only direction/goal I this endeavour is the removal is the requirement of net-tools, and that's only Fedora, I'm not going to worry about it for now.
Hi guys,
Here's a status update for this change.
I have a Facter 3.9.0 package I'm happy with on initial testing. I'll be writing up a F28 self contained change shortly. I've tested puppet in F26 against this and it appears to behave correctly - would appreciate more eyes on it though.
I'm having issues with cmake3 in EPEL7 not picking up the cmake files from the leatherman package preventing me from building there - so that will stay on 2.5.X for now, similar to F26 and F27 will be updated shortly staying within the 2.5.X series for compatibilty concerns.
If you'd like to test the facter 3.9.0 packages this COPR can be used:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhogarth/facter3/
We'll need to coordinate on the F28 package so puppet can depend on ruby-facter instead of facter ... I'll do a repoquery to see if I can locate any similar packages using the ruby bindings as well.
Cheers,
James
To keep the ruby sig and relevant package owners/reviewers in the loop ... the change for Facter3 in F28 has been approved.

I'll get the boost-nowide review request in over the weekend, which will unblock leatherman and cpp-hocon can then be submitted as well.
The initial spec files that need a final tuning for submission, and which were used for the COPR, can be found here:

We've got plenty of time according to the schedule but it'd be nice to get this resolved in rawhide sooner rather than later :)
