those shoet fedora release cycles are... challenging

*short

We're also moving repos from Travis & Appveyor to GH actions, but that will take some time. Also macOS 10.15 and Ubuntu 18.04 GH action runners are deprecated, so we'll be bumping to newer versions.

yeah apparently Fedora 37 beta is out.. we'll probably skip 37 and wait for 38

@bastelfreak I know nothing about gentoo, but should

systemd

be the default for all gentoo versions or only for certain values of

operatingsystemmajrelease

like we do for ubuntu, etc?

gentoo is a rolling release and supports two init systems, openrc and systemd

If systemd is pid1, which the confine: checks, it is the used init systemd and systems should be used as provider

Ah I see ekohl asked the same question

Hey hey! How’s everyone?

@CVQuesty o/

I has question when it’s my turn

So if

systemd

is suitable based on the confine, what will happen if both

systemd

and

openrc

are the default? Does the latter need to not be the default?

IOW I forget what happens when there are multiple defaults?

mhm good question, I havent tested this

I think there's some magic where the one with the most "specificity" will win, but it's magic

:D

So… control repo and r10k/Code Manager

Here's the specificity logic, but I don't remember if it applies to multiple defaults or just when puppet is selecting one provider based on confines https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/e57fe8fdfb8305203d66451e2b4f71cf12a0f94f/lib/puppet/provider.rb#L337-L346

love the comments there… 😄

I will try to come up with a test in the next days

Ok, I’m going to toss this out here because Im coming up against a meeting. Sorry I’m so late. Alligators all around me

yeah, the specificity stuff is bad... adding a

defaultfor

or changing provider inheritance can magically change which provider is selected...

When you configure R10k and/or Code Manager, you point at a URL for the control_repo. Currently, the only way you can do that is with an SSH key you generate and tell r10k where the repo is. I would like a way (and if I’ve missed it, please tell me) to just tell r10k/CM to go to a tokenized HTTPS URL instead, and not use SSH

we rely on the fedora releases, so we'll need something before f34 gets removed

In the Puppetfile, this works all day long. The only place it does not work is in pointing r10k/CM at the control_repo

@hbui we added fedora 36 last release https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/release_notes_puppet.html#enhancements_puppet_x-7-19-0-PA-4668 It'll be in the next PE release(s)

You can configure an https url in code manager

without an SSH key? Please do tell
