The way I see it: Don't upgrade to ruby 1.87 ==> known security holes that could exploit your foreman server (impacting everyone). Upgrade to ruby 1.87 ==> Pain of migrating foreman to a newer distribution (impacting only a subset of the users)** We are also planning to have a maintenance release in the 0.4.x versions, so critical bugs (and probably less than critical) would be fixed there as well. Ohad ** which imho is a non issue, as : 1. there is a fully automated puppet module to install foreman 2. you only need to pass the db and a couple of config files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
