I disagree, I want to use Puppet with storedconfigs and activerecord. In fact, I'm using it now, and have been doing so for over eight years. Puppet has come a long way since the early days, but if you knew how slow it was back then, you would think that storedconfigs with activerecord was blazing fast now. While I am interested in switching to puppetdb and getting even moar speed, the fact that it is not possible to install puppetdb in debian right now (and the challenges in getting it packaged are not trivial) is pretty significant because it breaks everybody's puppet setup until that is available, and it doesn't look like it will be available for Jessie. > IMO, nothing of value has been lost, and the only thing that should > probably be done is a NEWS/RelNotes entry (which likely is required > anyway, I seriously doubt upgrading inplace from 2.7 to 3.7 does > yield anything working at all). That is why we are adopting our manifests for the newer requirements, it is a bit painful to do so, but it would be much more painful if our choice was to either not upgrade to jessie, or install a non-debian provided puppetdb. micah
