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. (#11640) Added support for new OpenStack MAC addresses OpenStack changed the MAC address prefix they use to address an issues with libvirt OpenStack bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/921838 (#10819) Avoid reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby Reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby can cause hangs in certain versions of the Linux kernel. The problem appears when a puppet agent is run with --listen, which hold open a socket, and then ruby reads from /proc/self/mounts. When this occurs ruby calls select on the open filehandles which triggers a bug in the kernel that causes the select to hang forever. This commit uses an exec of cat instead of ruby file reading operations, which avoids the ruby interpreter having to call select and trigger the bug. It appears that only /proc/self/mounts has this problem. Other areas of /proc were tested and did not cause the error.
