🦊 openvox-db 9.0.0-rc1 is there! partyfrog see the full changelog at https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvoxdb/releases/tag/9.0.0-rc1 Honourable mentions: @Daniel Juárez provided a patch to filter incoming facts in openvoxdb, based on the fact name or a regular expression: https://github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvoxdb/pull/502 . if this is going to work well, we plan to backport it to 8.x. Thanks to the awesome work from @Charlie Sharpsteen on ezbake and the original trapperkeeper patches from Jerome Charaoui and enhancements from @Sebastian Spritzgebaeck Rakel and lots of testing from @bastelfreak, the openvoxdb/server 9 packages now use

Type=notify

or

Type=notify-reload

. The latter requires systemd 253, which isn't supported by older distributions. With those changes, the services will now inform systemd when they are fully started. And they will be started with the correct java bin path. The packages depend on JRE 25, or if not available, JRE 21. The JRE path is used in the systemd unit. The older environment variable

JAVA_BIN

from

/etc/{default,sysconfig}/puppet{db,server}

isn't used anymore and users don't need to deal with it. This was a great team effort, thank you everybody for contributing ❤️ And as always; please test the packages and provide feedback, to bring us closer to an official 9 release.
