Anybody having VMs / Baremetals / ... using VLANs: You will run into a regression with Facter 4 that will stop puppet 7 from working on these machines: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-2870 The fix is there, but there is no release yet containing the fix. So it's worth holding these machines of from being updated on the rolling repos. Additionally, there are a couple of regressions regarding how networking facts are being reported by Facter 4: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-2871 https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-2872 If you are depending on these facts in your manifests (e.g. in a condition), it might be the case that puppet will do something differently. I suggest checking your manifests for the usage of these facts. I didn't check the bug tracker thoroughly for other regressions, but I have seen a few more. So it might worth looking into it, as regressions in fact reporting can have unintended side-effects. And really only cosmetic wise, you get a bunch of warnings in puppet 7 for the user and exec types: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-10876 https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10790 They are not really an issue, but might affect you if you are parsing the output. E.g. filtering cron output -> cron emails are sent out with these alerts. Other than that: Puppet 7 runs smoothly, be sure to re-install your gems, as it switches to Ruby 2.7 best ~pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
