This patch addresses the problem by providing a Bundler compatible Gemfile that specifies all of the Gem dependencies for the Puppet 2.7 application. Puppet contributors can now easily get a working development and testing environment using this sequence of commands: $ git clone --branch 2.7.x git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet.git $ cd puppet/ $ bundle install # Install all required dependencies $ rspec The .noexec.yaml file excludes the `rake` command so that the Gemfile doesn't raise an exception if the `rubygems-bundler` Gem is installed and automatically running `bundle exec` for us. The Gemfile.lock contains the exact dependency versions. This file is included in the version control system because we're treating Puppet as an application rather than a library. Shift to using packaging repo for packaging tasks This release introduces Facter's use of the packaging repo at https://github.com/puppetlabs/packaging for packaging automation. From source, doing a rake package:bootstrap clones packaging tasks into ext/packaging and adds rake tasks for packaging of tar, gem, srpm, rpm, and deb using tools such as rpmbuild and debuild, as well as puppetlabs-namespaced tasks that use chroot environment tools and are keyed to specifically interacting with the puppetlabs environment. The packaging repo works in tandem with the new package-builder modules designed to set up hosts for packaging, https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-rpmbuilder, and https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-debbuilder. This is very much a work in progress, but a model for how packaging automation could improve across many Puppet Labs projects.
