Description of problem: Puppet 0.25.5 which was pushed to Fedora a little while back has the following problem http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3866 With the following fix: http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/commit/8faa4663a4d79de47886755693f5539d531bd1f8 I have uploaded a patch encapsulating the fix in a manner which can be applied to the spec file to my site: http://projects.morsi.org/polisher/sources/puppet-0.25-gsub-metaclass-with-singletonglass.patch Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.25.5-1 How reproducible: I discovered this when creating and booting virtual appliance via appliance-creator resulting in many "metaclass deprecated" warnings in the appliances boot log. Steps to Reproduce: You can download the kickstart I'm using here http://github.com/movitto/polisher-scripts/raw/master/appliances/maintenance.ks Note, comment out the bit about the 'polisher-maintenance' repository as well as the "rubygem(rails) = 2.3.8" package below since neither of those will be accessible locally. I'm guessing that this will occur in any appliance thought since puppet is required by the appliance tools 1. sudo appliance-creator -n fedora-ruby-187 -c maintenance.ks --cache /var/tmp/act 2. sudo virt-image fedora-ruby-187/fedora-ruby-187.xml 3. Open virt-manager or virt-viewer and view the vm's boot log Actual results: Many warnings stating: "DEPRECATION WARNING: metaclass is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 2.3" Followed by the puppet service reporting that it failed to start / install the base appliance Expected results: No warning and successful appliance installation Additional info: I've confirmed locally that applying the patch results in the warnings going away (though the startup log is still indicating that puppet failed to install the base appliance, though this may be a separate issue).
Note this may only be occurring against Rails 2.3.8 which I'm working toward getting ready for Fedora. (I haven't confirmed this either way) Regardless, it is an issue that will need to be resolved when the updated Rails version is pushed (the latest puppet releases, off the 2.6.0 branch, has this fix included but it seems some of the appliance-creator's puppet scripts are incompatible with puppet 2.6.0 as indicated by failures in appliance boot log)
It doesn't look like this affects Fedora as shipped with rails 2.3.5. At least, no other reports have come in and I don't see it myself. The fix is in the 0.25.x branch upstream, as well as in 2.6.x. If we don't move to 2.6.x soon, we may well see a 0.25.6 release from upstream. Failing either of those, we can pull in the upstream patch for a 0.25.5 update if/when rails is updated. I'd be interested if you can keep us apprised of the progress of rails 2.3.8 in Fedora so we can be sure to have a puppet update in place at or before that time to ensure things work well for users. I'd also be interested in knowing what issues appliance creator is having with 2.6.0 and if the same manifests worked without issue in 0.25.5. Such regressions would be considered bugs upstream I believe. At the least, they may affect our decision to update to 2.6.x or stick with 0.25.x. I've got a testing repository for puppet 2.6.0 at: http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/ Thanks!

I've updated the puppet rpm for the time being (for testing / local purposes), and uploaded the spec / srpm here: http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/puppet.spec http://mo.morsi.org/files/rpms/puppet-0.25.5-2.fc13.src.rpm > > I'd be interested if you can keep us apprised of the progress of rails 2.3.8 in > Fedora so we can be sure to have a puppet update in place at or before that > time to ensure things work well for users. > The rails 2.3.8 rpms are pretty close to completion. I uploaded the latest releases to my blog here http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/325 I've also taken over ownership of the packages in Fedora. I think the concensus on ruby-sig is to push them into F14-updates. One thing that I also wanted to accomplish sooner than later with this, is to remove the ancient ruby-activerecord and ruby-activesupport packages (which have been long replaced with rubygem-ar and -as). AFAIK one of the only things holding us back from doing so is making sure puppet is no longer dependent on those. Apparently there wasn't a build dependency per-se, rather puppet checked to see if they were present in certain circumstances. I was wondering if you could comment on whether or not this is still the case and if puppet depends on either of those. > I'd also be interested in knowing what issues appliance creator is having with > 2.6.0 and if the same manifests worked without issue in 0.25.5.

At some point puppet complained about one of the commands ace was trying to execute (I believe it was in the firewall module, but am not sure) and failed to finish the installation. Sorry I don't currently have any more details.
Hey just a quick update. I pushed Rails 2.3.8 to rawhide and am looking for thoughts on pushing the rpms to F14 updates (see ruby-sig). I also retired the ruby-activerecord and ruby-activesupport rpms.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This has been resolved in the 2.6.x version of puppet which has been pushed to Fedora
2.6.x is still in -testing. The updates system would have automatically closed this when it went to stable. :)
Ah my bad, had already pulled the updated puppet in, tested it, and make sure this bug was resolved. Closed as I received a needinfo? from the Bug Zapper as this was filed against Fedora 13 which is approaching its end of life. If the updated version of puppet does not make it into stable, we can reopen and address this from there.
