See the

puppetlabs-postgresql

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/postgresql?src=slack&channel=voxpupuli

my bigger concern was that many modules have not yet raised the upper bound, so finding some working combination is hard

changes the default setting for strict

actually, changed, years ago

guess who raised the jira issue to change the default in Puppet 8!

hides

ok. Well maybe not nobody, but perhaps just you! 😉

is there an easy way to deep merge to hash variables in Puppet?

likes lookup with the deep option, just not in hiera but in puppet dsl

$hash1 + $hash2

only merges toplevel keys

@Alex Fisher I still think it was a mistake that we released the namespace functions in stdlib 9, not 8.x

ah stdlib has deep_merge

bastelfreak: agreed - implement deprecation + replacement in x.y, then drop in (x+1).0

That's what we've done though. Just the deprecation + replacement is in 9.x to drop in 10.0 We just got the deprecation bit slightly wrong and didn't jump on it straight away to fix. There were already a bunch of breaking changes in main, so the next release was always going to be 9.0 unless anyone want to start messing with creating separate 8.x release branches.

I still think we should backport the namespaced functions

Without the shims could be beneficial (the shims were at least how one regression slipped in), but unless you're also proposing backing out all the 'require stdlib 9' changes, I'm guessing it's much more effort than it's worth.

anyway... didn't you originally advocate just having a major release dropping the legacy versions without any prior deprecations?

"My initial thought was to not add the shims at all and drop all the legacy functions"

ducks

yes. but nobody else liked the idea 😄

phew!

🙂

there's always this conflict from maintainers vs users point of view

I get that the shims help a lot from a users point of view. but they now require more effort on the maintainers side

yes, there's always maintainer vs users conflict but stdlib is so common that the balance is more on the maintainers than for most other modules

concat is IMHO a close second

@Pat Riehecky https://github.com/jcpunk/puppet-sssd that's your module? would you be interested in migrating it to Vox Pupuli? We had a few requests for a sssd module, mostly bodgit/puppet-sssd. There's also a recent thread on the mailinglist about it

https://github.blog/2023-06-26-new-tool-to-secure-your-github-actions/ could be interesting

speaking about github

I would like to have the large runners, at least for some modules
