In a simlar vain to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302423 we need to decide how we will deal with core modules. We currently make use of the following core modules
| resource | In use | Packaged in debian | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| augeas | Yes | Yes | |
| cron | Yes | Yes | Work under way to replace with systemd T273673 |
| host | Yes | Yes | |
| mount | Yes | Yes | |
| scheduled_task | No | N/A | |
| selboolean | No | N/A | |
| selmodule | No | N/A | |
| ssh_authorized_key | No | N/A | |
| sshkey | Yes | Yes | |
| yumrepo | No | N/A | |
| zfs | No | N/A | |
| zone | No | N/A | |
| zpool | No | N/A | |
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T294906 Puppet Improvements | |||
| Duplicate | jbond | T265138 Work required to prepare for puppet 7 | |||
| Resolved | jbond | T302481 Where to put puppetlabs Core Modules |
As all the packages we need have already been packaged by debian, my view is we just go with the debian packages and close this ticket down.
I agree, using debs for core modules seems like right approach to keeping our Puppet usage inline with upstream.
ack ill resolve this in that case, the task is still around if anyone wants to object they can re-open
