Description

The puppet version used by bundle is set as:

Gemfile	~> 3.7.x
Gemfile.lock	3.7.5

Debian Jessie came with 3.7.2 so we probably to stick to that, though that probably does not matter much ( upstream changelog is https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/3.7/release_notes.html#puppet-375 ).

The subject of this task is: what is the actual version of puppet running in the box? Maybe it is using 3.8.x which we had at some point or maybe it is even already on puppet 4?

The reason is to be able to run rspec puppet tests with the same version as on the box.

On a Jessie one, the initial provisioning is done with: 3.7.2

$ apt-cache policy puppet

I am pretty sure production upgraded to 3.8.5 before heading to 4.8.

Stretch will be the master branch in ~2 weeks (T181353). I wouldn't waste much energy on things like this in master right now.

Definitely :] I guess we can keep this around as a reminder to bump the Puppet version in the Gemfile to match the one installed in Stretch.

Thanks Bryan. I did the rspec-puppet patch on the stretch-migration. The Gemfile has puppet 4.8.2 which match the Debian package.
