Hi,
I share your pain. Too much time I waste on figuring out what set of dependencies will work. Something that may help is Voxpupuli's ra10ke gem (https://github.com/voxpupuli/ra10ke). This adds a few helpful rake tasks to work with dependencies. https://voxpupuli.org/plugins/#r10k lists a few other plugins to add to your workflow that may work for you. -----Original message----- From: Karsten Heymann <karsten.heym...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday 9th July 2019 9:53 To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Subject: [Puppet Users] How do you keep the forge modules you use up to date (and keep your sanity) Hi there, once again we are trying to update our set of about 70 external forge modules our puppet codebase uses but we always end up in dependency hell, especially when trying to update central modules like puppetlabs/stdlib or puppetlabs/apt or my special friend puppetlabs/concat. There are always not that well maintained modules that have something like puppetlabs-apt < 3.0.0 in their metadata.yaml that makes upgrading these modules to current versions extremely annoying. How do you handle this? Do you try to keep your modules up to date and do you care for the version limits in the modules you use. So far we often just did puppet module upgrade --force --ignore-dependencies and usually it works without problem, but that's not really the best solution for this problem. And maintaining internal forks of all problematic puppet modules with fixed dependencies would be a lot of work. Any hints would be appreciated.
