= Proposed Self Contained Change: Facter3 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Facter3 Change owner(s): * James Hogarth <jhogarth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This is an update of the Facter package from 2.X to 3.X. It is a self contained changed which will impact puppet directly and potentially any other tools that make use of facter to gather information. == Detailed Description == In the effort to remove the dependencies on the deprecated net-tools package Facter needs to be updated past the 3.0+ release. The version presently in Fedora is 2.4.3, with 2.5.1 upstream as the most recent in the 2.X series. This is an update with breaking changes as detailed upstream here: https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.0/release_notes.html The most significant change though is a switch of language from ruby to c++, with bindings for application like puppet to remain compatible. There is a COPR to carry out early testing here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhogarth/facter3/ == Scope == * Proposal owners: The following packages need to be reviewed as dependancies: - boost-nowide - leatherman - cpp-hocon The leatherman package is already under review, the other two I'll be submitting for review in due course. The only package showing a requirement on facter is puppet, that will need a change of it's requires to use ruby-facter instead of facter. The release notes will need to include this to notify anyone using facter as a ruby library will need to change what package they install. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issues/7090 * List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
