Puppet 0.25.4 released!
You wanted “release early, release often” and the Puppet team has delivered! The 0.25.4 release is a maintenance release (with one important feature - pre/post transaction hooks - discussed below) in the 0.25.x branch. The release primarily addresses a regression introduced in 0.25.3 that caused issues with creating cron jobs. The release is available at: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet-0.25.4.tar.gz http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/gems/puppet-0.25.4.gem http://gemcutter.org/gems/puppet Please note that all final releases of Puppet are signed with the Reductive Labs key - http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DownloadingPuppet#verifying… Please report feedback via the Reductive Labs Redmine site: http://projects.reductivelabs.com Please select an affected version of 0.25.4 RELEASE NOTES Pre/Post Transaction hooks There is a new feature in this release: pre and post transaction hooks. These hooks allow you to specify commands that should be run pre and post a Puppet configuration transaction. They are set with the prerun_command and postrun_command settings in the puppet.conf configuration file.
prerun_command = /bin/runbeforetransaction
postrun_command = /bin/runaftertransaction
The command must exit with 0, i.e. succeed, otherwise the transaction will fail - if the pre command fails before the transaction is run and if the post command fails at the end of the transaction.
