Puppet 3 support dropped in our puppet modules

ekohl · April 6, 2017, 12:10pm

Good news everyone! Puppet 3 support has been dropped in our modules.

As announced earlier we'd continue supporting Puppet 3 for the 1.15
release. Now that we've branched, we're starting to use Puppet 4 types
which syntax is incompatible with Puppet 3.

For the version numbers that support Puppet 3 I'd recommend looking at

github.com

theforeman/foreman-installer/blob/1.15-stable/Puppetfile

forge 'https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com'

# Dependencies
mod 'puppetlabs/mysql',         '>= 3.10.0 < 4.0.0'
mod 'puppetlabs/postgresql',    '>= 4.9.0 < 5.0.0'
mod 'puppetlabs/puppetdb',      '>= 5.1.2 < 6.0.0'
mod 'theforeman/dhcp',          '>= 3.1.0 < 3.2.0'
mod 'theforeman/dns',           '>= 4.1.0 < 4.2.0'
mod 'theforeman/git',           '>= 2.0.0 < 2.1.0'
mod 'theforeman/tftp',          '>= 2.0.0 < 2.1.0'

# Top-level modules
mod 'theforeman/foreman',       '>= 7.2.0 < 7.3.0'
mod 'theforeman/foreman_proxy', '>= 5.1.0 < 5.2.0'
mod 'theforeman/puppet',        '>= 7.1.1 < 7.2.0'

Each module has a stable-x.y branch where we accept bugfixes but
preferably no new features.

With this we follow Puppetlabs and Voxpupuli which are starting to drop
or have dropped support already. Since we depend on them, we can no
longer reasonably support more than they do.

Ewoud - does this extend to the Katello modules or are you strictly
speaking of the core set for Foreman modules?

We still need to branch the Katello modules so that must happen first.
Other than that we haven't really discussed it but I do think we should
mirror this for the Katello modules for the same reason the foreman
modules dropped it: dependencies are dropping it and pinning on old
versions is actively building technical debt.
